jamb 1983english-language

The correct answer is B. a glimmer of hope

In this context, the phrase "brought a glimmer of hope" means that the Manager's suggestion provided a small, faint, or initial sense of hope to the depressed investors.

The word "glimmer" refers to a faint or weak light, and in this case, it is used metaphorically to represent hope.
