Fill Blanks

Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and make a grammatically correct sentence.

Seema gave her teacher a beautiful ____________ of pink roses on Teachers' Day.

Options:

grove

reed

bouquet

wreath

Correct Answer:

bouquet

Explanation:

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

A bouquet is a bunch of flowers that is often given as a gift. This is the most appropriate word because it accurately describes what Seema gave her teacher.

The other options are not as appropriate.

  • A grove is a small group of trees. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because Seema did not give her teacher a group of trees.
  • A reed is a tall, thin plant that grows in water. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because Seema did not give her teacher a plant.
  • A wreath is a circle of flowers or leaves that is often hung on a door or wall. This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because Seema did not give her teacher a circle of flowers or leaves.
