Fill in the blank with the correct word from the options given below:
I fondly remember the time _______ my friends and I went to Rishikesh.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → when
An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
Complete sentence: I fondly remember the time when my friends and I went to Rishikesh. The clause "my friends and I went to Rishikesh" describes the time, so it is joined by when.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) who | "Who" is a relative pronoun used for persons. "The time" is not a person. | The girl who won the race is my sister. |
| (2) where | "Where" follows a noun of place. Here the noun is "the time". | This is the village where my father grew up. |
| (3) when (answer) | A relative adverb joins a clause to a noun before it:
| I can never forget the day when I first rode a bicycle. |
| (4) which | "Which" is a relative pronoun that must be the subject or object of its clause. "My friends and I went to Rishikesh" is already complete and has no place for it. | The book which you lent me is very interesting. |
