Fill Blanks

Question:

Fill in the blank with most appropriate word.

The air ______ has gone up significantly.

Options:

rent

charge

cost

fare

Correct Answer:

fare

Explanation:

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

  • Rent is the amount of money paid to use something, such as a car or an apartment. This word does not make sense in the context of the sentence, as it does not describe the cost of air travel.
  • Charge can mean the amount of money asked for something, but it is more commonly used to describe the amount of electricity or water used. This word does not make sense in the context of the sentence, as it does not describe the cost of air travel.
  • Cost is the amount of money needed to buy or do something. This word is a good fit for the blank, as it describes the amount of money needed to travel by air.
  • Fare is the price of a ticket for travel by air, bus, or train. This word is the best fit for the blank, as it specifically describes the cost of air travel.
