Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Can you please ______ this sauce over the pasta?

pour

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is pour.

The word "pour" means to flow or cascade liquid from a container. This is the most appropriate word because it accurately describes how the sauce would be dispensed over the pasta.

The other options are not as appropriate.

• Pore means to gaze or study something intently. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the sauce is not being gazed at or studied.
• Power means to have the ability to do something or to have control over something. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the sauce is not being powered or controlled.
• Purr means to make a low, continuous sound like a cat. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because the sauce is not making a low, continuous sound.
