Question

East or West ___ is best. (Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate word.)
A) Castle
B) Hut
C) Home
D) Place
E) Country

Answer 1

Hint: Here we have to complete a sentence for which we are provided with a dialogue between two persons using prepositions. A sentence is a meaningful collection of words that has a subject, a verb, and an object. A preposition is a term that typically indicates where or when something is in relation to another.

Complete answer:
A proverb is a brief, well-known pithy saying that expresses a general truth or advice. It is a conventional saying that communicates a perceived reality based on common sense or experience in a clear, concrete manner.

Now let us look at the given options:
Option A) This is an incorrect option because the word Castle would not complete the popular proverb, east or west home is the best.
Option B)It is incorrect because instead of using hut, we use home in the proverb. Although hut is also a place to live in yet home refers to the place where you have certain memories and where love resides.
Option C) It is the correct answer, the word “home” completes the popular proverb east or west home is the best. This proverb expresses the belief that no matter where you go in the world, home is the best place to be. It's a reiteration of the more well-known phrase "there's no place like home." This proverb isn't particularly old. It first appeared in print in the English writer Walter Keating Kelly's collection of foreign proverbs, Proverbs of All Nations, published in 1859.
Option D) It is incorrect because the word “place” does not complete the popular proverb, east or west home is the best.
Option E) It is incorrect because the word “country” does not complete the popular proverb correctly. The proverb is: East or West home is the best.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note: A proverb is a short, well-known folk sentence that contains wisdom, fact, morality, and traditional views in a metaphorical, set, and memorizable form and is passed down through generations. Proverbs are often and easily translated and passed between languages. Nothing is more ambiguous than the origins of proverbs; the same proverb can be found in every country, and its paternity is impossible to determine.
