Question:

Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank and make a meaningful sentence.

Conservative parents usually do not give their ______ for uncommon career choices of their children.

Options:

consent

agreement

allowance

dissent

Correct Answer:

consent

Explanation:

The most appropriate word to fill in the blank and make a meaningful sentence is:

consent

The sentence would read: "Conservative parents usually do not give their consent for uncommon career choices of their children."

Explanation: "Consent" refers to permission or approval, which fits the context of parents not approving of uncommon career choices. The other options don't fit the context:

  • Agreement: This generally refers to mutual understanding or shared opinion and doesn't specifically convey the idea of giving permission.

  • Allowance: This typically refers to a sum of money given to someone, and it doesn't convey the idea of giving permission.

  • Dissent: This means disagreement or opposition, which doesn't fit the context of parents not approving of career choices.
