Question

Complete the sentence using one of the following:
Julia is fed up with working for other people. She wants to start ___________.
a) her own money
b) her own private jet
c) her own business
d) her own ideas

Answer 1

Hint: The given sentence needs to make sense with the phrase that fills the blank. The sentence in the first part says that the person is fed up with something. So, the second part should have the opposite of the thing mentioned in the first part.

Complete answer:
The given sentence indicates in the first part itself that there is a contradiction coming. The first part says that the subject ‘Julia’ is tired of working for other people. The subject is clearly saying that the person does not want to continue working for other people.
So, naturally, the second part of the sentence should contain something that she wants to do. The second part should have something where she can work for herself.

Now we know what we are looking for. Let’s look at the given options-
a) her own money - This phrase refers to the person’s own money, i.e. the money she has earned. This phrase does not fit into the given sentence. It is different from the context of the sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
b) her own private jet - This phrase refers to the person owning her own airplane. This phrase also does not fit into the given sentence. It is different from the context of the sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c) her own business - This phrase refers to her being her own boss, and not working under anyone. This phrase fits perfectly into the given sentence. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
d) her own ideas - This phrase refers to her original ideas. This phrase does not fit into the given sentence. It is different from the context of the sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.

Note:
Choose the most appropriate option given the context of the sentence. Make sure all the meanings are aligning with each other and work with each other perfectly.
