Question:

Fill in the blanks by choosing suitable words from the options given below:

He ___________ through the forest till he found the ___________.

Options:

Rode - Road

Road - Rod

Rod - Rode

Road - Rolled

Correct Answer:

Rode - Road

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - Rode - Road

"He rode through the forest till he found the road."

  • "Rode" is the past tense of "ride," which means to travel on a vehicle or animal.
  • "Road" refers to a pathway or route, which fits the context of the sentence as something one would find after traveling through a forest.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

  • "Road - Rod"  (Incorrect) – "Road" makes sense, but "Rod" does not fit contextually.
  • "Rod - Rode"  (Incorrect) – "Rod" does not fit the context, as it refers to a thin, straight bar, not a place or pathway.
  • "Road - Rolled"  (Incorrect) – "Road" fits, but "Rolled" does not make sense in this context.
