Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "ancient" and compare it with the options. "Ancient" refers to something very old, especially from a long time ago.

• Option A: "sad" is about emotion, not related to age or time, so it's incorrect.
• Option B: "old" has a similar meaning to "ancient" as both relate to being from a past time or having existed for a long time.
