Question

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence-
He could not ________ watching his beloved dog being taken away.
a) Fall
b) Care
c) Bear
d) Feel

Answer 1

Hint: You must read the given sentence carefully while solving such questions. The four options are completely different in meanings, you must know the meaning of all of them.

Complete answer:
It is clearly shown that the given sentence is expressing a kind of grief. The sentence is sad as it is clearly written that the dog is "taken away". We have to choose the correct option from the four given options.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct answer :
Option 'a' is Fall. It is a verb which means to move from a higher level to a lower level, typically rapidly and without control.
Option 'b' is Care. It is the noun which means the provision of what is necessary for the health, welfare, maintenance, and protection of something.
Option 'c' is Bear. It is a verb which means to carry (of a person); carry the weight of (an emotion).
Option 'd' is Feel. It is a verb which means to be aware of (of a person) to be touching or being touched.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the word to be filled in the blank is - bear. The sentence would be - He could not bear watching his beloved dog being taken away. Hence, option 'c' is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don't confuse between 'care' and 'bear'. The sentence is conveying a negative meaning from the speaker's side, so only 'bear' can be used here.
