Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank and make a meaningful sentence.

The student ________ for a refund of fees.

Options:

said

wanted

requested

ordered

Correct Answer:

requested

Explanation:

The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is requested.

The sentence is about the student asking for something, and the word "requested" is the most polite and formal way to say that. The other words are not as polite or formal.

  • Said is too informal for this context. It is more likely to be used in a conversation than in a formal setting.
  • Wanted is also too informal. It does not convey the same sense of urgency or politeness as "requested."
  • Ordered is too aggressive. It is not appropriate to use this word when asking for something.
