Question

Choose the option (s) that best fills in the blank in the given sentence to complete it logically and correctly.
The police made an ________ arrangement for the safety of the passengers.
This question has multiple correct options
A) Elaborate
B) Enough
C) All
D) Adequate

Answer 1

Hint:Vocabulary plays an important role here and choosing the correct option that fits grammatically correct and makes the sentence logically correct.

Complete answer:
Option A) Elaborate – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of elaborated means ‘involving many carefully arranged parts or details or careful or detailed or thorough’ and this does not fit logically and correctly. Meaning of the sentence when elaborate is used in the blank is ‘the police made an elaborate arrangement for the safety of the passengers. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) Enough – is the correct answer because the meaning of enough is ‘as much or as many as required or sufficient or ample’ and this is the correct fit in the sentence. It makes a meaningful sentence - The police made an enough arrangement for the safety of the passengers. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Option C) All – is an incorrect answer because the meaning of all is ‘used to refer to the whole quantity or extent of a particular group or thing or completely’ and all is used for the plurals. However, the use of ‘all’ in the blank is inappropriate because an is used before blank and ‘an all’ makes the sentence incorrect and illogical. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Adequate – is the correct answer because the meaning of adequate is ‘satisfactory or acceptable in quality or quantity or sufficient or ample’ and this is the correct fit in the sentence. It makes a meaningful sentence - The police made an adequate arrangement for the safety of the passengers. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answers are Option “B” & ‘D’.

Note: This question has multiple correct answer i.e. Option B and option D. Synonyms are used here in the options, synonyms are the words that have the same or similar meaning. So, the meaning of enough and adequate are the same i.e. sufficient. So, they are synonyms of each other and their use in the blank makes the sentence logically and grammatically correct.
