Question

Choose the best answer from the options given.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to come to office tomorrow.
a. Your boss will be pleased with you.
b. Oh! Well, never mind. We’ll see you the day after tomorrow.
c. Still we will wait for you there.
d. All of these.

Answer 1

Hint: To choose the correct answer, look at the most logical or probable answer. Put yourself in the situation and imagine what your friends would say or what the general reaction of your boss will be. Any answer which seems illogical or improbable may be eliminated. Ambiguous answers may also be ruled out.

Complete answer:
The given question states that we have to choose the best answer to the given statement. The statement says that the person will not be able to go to office the next day.

Let us see which of the given options will be the most probable answer.
> Option a is a sarcastic answer. It is not logical because a boss is never pleased if his employee does not come to the office. Therefore, the first answer is wrong.
>Option b is a logical answer. If this sentence is being said to a group of friends, the friends say that it is alright if the person does not turn up. They will meet him the day after tomorrow.
> Option c says that they will still wait for him. This is, once again, an illogical answer. There is no point in waiting for someone when he has already told them that he will not be available the next day.
> Option d is definitely wrong after we have concluded from the explanations for options a and c as to why they are wrong. Option d would have been valid if options a and c were also correct. Therefore, option d cannot be the correct answer.

Hence, option b is the correct answer.

Note: This question is more about using logic. While choosing the option, we have to see the underlying tone of the answer. The first one was clearly sarcastic while the third one was very illogical.
