The correct word to complete the sentence is "followed." Therefore, the full sentence would be:

"Competition was fierce. People spoke of nothing else in the days that followed, admiring the winner and promising themselves that one day, their own kite would fly proudly over the town."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • At the beginning of the sentence, we can see that the competition took place days ago.
  • This is because the narrator uses the expression "was fierce" to refer to the competition and "was" is a verb that indicates that this occurred in the past.
  • Therefore, people can only have commented on the competition after it was over, that is, in the days that followed the competition.

Therefore, the only word capable of completing the blank space and leaving the sentence coherent and correct would be "followed."

<span>Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 to October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, critic and editor best known for evocative short stories and poems that captured the imagination and interest of readers around the world. His imaginative storytelling and tales of mystery and horror gave birth to the modern detective story. Many of Poe’s works, including “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” became literary classics.
