Question:

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:-

Dr Rajnish has employed an _______ boy for his office works.

Options:

errand

errant

errogancy

errantly

Correct Answer:

errand

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blanks is errand.

The word "errand" means a short journey undertaken to do something for someone else. In the context of the sentence, "Dr Rajnish has employed an errand boy for his office works", Dr Rajnish has employed a boy to run errands for him in his office. The other options are not as appropriate.

  • Errant means straying from the right path or behaving in a way that is not considered acceptable. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, as Dr Rajnish is not employing a boy who is straying from the right path or behaving in a way that is not considered acceptable.
  • Arrogance means a feeling of superiority over others. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, as Dr Rajnish is not employing a boy who is arrogant.
  • Errantly means in an errant way. This is a less common word than "errand", and it is not the most appropriate word to use in the sentence.
