Answer:
it would be the option miserable which means sad
Explanation:
The correct answer is a) I almost missed the entire dance competition.
Almost is an adverb, meaning it usually goes before a verb (which in this case is missed) to emphasize a sentence. In a) almost emphasizes the fact that they nearly missed the entire dance competition. In b) it goes after the verb, which doesn't make sense since it isn't emphasizing anything. I hope this helps :)
