The following items have one part of the sentence followed by four alternatives. Complete the sentences by choosing the correct alternative.

Sheela has been at the receiving end

The correct answer is but she is very honest​. 

Key Points

• Let's look at the explanation given below:
  • The sentence given in the question tells us about the unpleasant situation that the subject faces.
  • The given sentence is in the present perfect tense.
  • In the given scenario, the 3rd and the 4th options are rejected as these sentences are in the past tense.
  • Typically, the one "at the receiving end" is the recipient of some behavior or action perceived to be harmful or negative.
  • The statements given in the 1st and the 2nd option is in contrast with the one given in the question as the subject is facing problems despite being an honest person.
  • Thus we need a sentence that starts with the conjunction that represents a contrasting statement.
• Hence the 1st option will be the correct choice as it starts with the desired conjunction i.e. but.
