Explanation:
“Bagan are sitting comfortably at the top on 32 points” indicates their position at the top of the standings.
“10 wins from 14 matches” specifies the number of wins out of the total matches played.
5. Correct Answer: a) Nail-biter
Explanation:Photo finish: Refers to a very close end, not relevant for describing the start of a game.
Nail-biter: Perfectly describes a tense and closely contested game, making it the most suitable option.
Cliffhanger: While suspenseful, it is more appropriate for ongoing or unresolved situations, not the opening game.
Dead heat: Indicates a tie, which is not implied in this context.

Explanation:“Leapfrog” means to move ahead of someone or something in a competitive ranking or position, which fits the context of taking the top spot

Explanation:“Dilemma” implies a difficult choice, “turmoil” indicates chaos, and “stalemate” suggests a deadlock, none of which fit the context as well as “limbo.”
“Limbo” refers to a state of uncertainty or unresolved situation, which is appropriate here as the elections have not yet been ratified.
