कोई सामने से आए तो चेहरा दिखता है, back तब दिखती है जब वह पलटकर जा रहा हो। उसकी back देखकर ख़ुश हैं, यानी आप चाहते थे कि वह जाए। ‘अतिथि, तुम कब जाओगे?’ वाली feeling।

When someone comes towards you, you see their face; you see their back only when they turn and leave. If seeing their back makes you happy, you wanted them gone. It is the feeling of ‘Guest, when will you leave?’

Exam note

Answer है ‘किसी के जाने पर ख़ुश या राहत में होना’; ‘sorely missed’ उल्टा option है।

The answer is ‘to be happy or relieved when someone leaves’; ‘sorely missed’ is the opposite option.
