In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the given alternatives.

About twelve o’clock that night was born the Catherine you saw at Wuthering Heights: a __(1)__ (small), seven-months’ child; and two hours after the mother died, having never recovered __(2)__ (enough) consciousness to miss Heathcliff, or know Edgar. The latter’s distraction at his __(3)__ (loss) is a subject too painful to be dwelt on; its after-effects showed how deep the sorrow sunk. A great addition, in my eyes, was his being left without a __(4)__ (successor). I bemoaned that, as I gazed on the __(5)__ (weak) orphan; and I mentally abused old Linton for (what was only natural partiality) the securing his estate to his own daughter, instead of his son’s. An unwelcomed infant it was, poor thing! It might have __(6)__ (cry) out of life, and nobody cared a morsel, during those first hours of existence. We __(7)__ (compensate) the neglect afterwards; but its beginning was as friendless as its end is likely to be.

The sentence suggests that the blank must contain a word that means 'crying'.

Fettered means restrained. Riled means annoyed. Wheezed means breathing with a rattling sound.

The only word that fits the blank is wailed, which means loud crying.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
