It is a period of sadness and grief that people go through after the loss of a loved one. Grievessness is not a word and does not convey the same meaning.

    A. Gelding
    Explanation
    A gelding is a castrated male horse. Castration is the surgical removal of the testicles, which results in the horse being unable to reproduce. Geldings are often preferred for riding and work purposes because they tend to have a more even temperament compared to stallions, which are intact (non-castrated) males. Mare refers to a female horse, while stud and stallion both refer to intact male horses. Therefore, the correct answer is gelding.

    The term "improvisational" refers to something that is created or performed spontaneously, without prior planning or preparation.

    Toil means to work or strive long and laboriously. It implies putting in a great amount of effort and hard work in order to achieve a goal.
