Question

Complete the sentence using ‘my own’.

I don’t watch television with the rest of my family. I’ve got ________ in my room.

a)my own parliament
b)my own private jet
c)my own money
d)my own television

Answer 1

Hint: To be able to distinguish between the given phrases, one only needs to understand the context of the sentence.

Complete step-by-step answer:

The given sentence talks about a television in the first part of it so the sentence following it must follow the same context.
Option a, ‘my own parliament’ has no relevance to the given context, the sentence talks about the person watching television, or not, either way, mention of a parliament is irrelevant in this context, hence it is an incorrect choice.
Option b, ‘my own private jet’, again the given sentence does not mention anything about a private jet, hence it is also an incorrect option.
Option c, ‘my own money’, for the same reason as the above two options, is irrelevant in the given context, hence is the incorrect option.
Option d, ‘my own television’, since it is a television the sentence is talking about, following it up with the same noun makes sense, it is the correct choice. Clearly, all the given options, other than option d, worthless, are more or less irrelevant as the given context. Option d, is the correct answer.

Note: One only needs to keep the context in mind, to answer this question.
