I have a question with 4 options, I would like to know if what I chose is correct.
"The lecture was so … that almost everyone fell asleep."
1) bored
2) dull
3) exhausted
4) tired
I chose option number 2 (dull), because all the rest are make the verbs passive and then they can not cause to active action of felling asleep. My choosing is correct?
Best Answer

since a lecture is not animate.
A lecture might be
which might mean it has come to its end, but
is not possible since this might describe the physical state of a lecture.
are all possible and correct.
though grammatically correct, may not make sense logically.
