Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone.
maya ______ me with her easy wit and effervescent charm.
captured
captivated
submit

Explanation:

To determine the best word, we analyze the context. "Captivated" means to attract and hold the interest or attention of someone, especially through charm or appeal. "Captured" typically implies seizing or taking possession, which doesn't fit the tone of being charmed. So "captivated" is more appropriate for the sentence about Maya's wit and charm.

Answer:

captivated
