Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

______ you like some water?

Options:

Do

Would

Shall

Can

Correct Answer:

Would

Explanation:

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

The sentence is a polite question asking if someone would like some water. The word "would" is used to make a polite request. It is more polite than "do" or "can".

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • Do is too informal for a polite request.
  • Can is also too informal for a polite request. It can also be used to ask for permission, which is not the case in this sentence.
  • Shall is more formal than "would", but it is not as commonly used in everyday speech.
