Direction: Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

Harry stepped in, his head almost ______ the sloping ceiling, and blinked.

• The reason to use "touching" in the blank is to convey that Harry's head is almost in physical contact with the sloping ceiling.
• The word "touching" in this context emphasizes the close proximity of Harry's head to the ceiling, suggesting that there is very little space between them. (इस संदर्भ में "touching" शब्द हैरी के सिर की छत से निकटता पर जोर देता है, जिससे पता चलता है कि उनके बीच बहुत कम जगह है।)
