Question

Choose the correct option to complete the phrase:
Do good and _________.
A) Sing
B) Dance
C) Tell everyone
D) Forget

Answer 1

Hint:Phrase is a group of words that express a concept and is used as a unit within a sentence. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute.

Complete answer:
Option A) Sing – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of ‘sing’ is ‘make musical sounds with the voice, especially words with a set tune or chant’ and the use of sing is inappropriate as it does not make sense in the phrase if sing is used – Do good and sing. This is not a phrase. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Dance – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of ‘dance’ is ‘move rhythmically to music, typically following a set sequence of steps’ and the use of dance is inappropriate as it does not make sense in the phrase if dance is used – Do good and dance. This is not a phrase. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Tell everyone – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of ‘tell everyone’ is ‘to announce or confess or disclose’ and the use tell everyone is inappropriate as it does not make sense in the phrase if tell everyone is used – Do good and tell everyone – somehow it is a very negative phrase. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Forget – is the correct answer because the meaning of ‘forget’ is ‘fail to remember or neglect or fail’ and the use of forget in the phrase is the most appropriate and it gives the complete sense in the phrase. So, the complete phrase is Do good and forget. The meaning of do good and forget is if you've done something right, you should not spend time congratulating yourself. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ D’.

Note: The phrase “Do good and forget” is an inspirational quote or it is a positive thinking quote. And the literal meaning of this phrase is to do something for someone or doing for self without any thought of reward and Option D is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option.
