Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
I always enjoy _________ friends.
A) To visit
B) For visiting
C) In visiting
D) Visiting

Answer 1

Hint: Verb should be used here in the blank and the verb are the action words in the sentence that describes what the subject is doing. Verbs are the main part of the phrase or sentence. For example: Robin sings.

Complete answer:
The meaning of visit is ‘an act of going to see a person or place as a guest, tourist, etc’. So, we have to fill the blank with the most appropriate verb.

Option A) To visit – is an incorrect answer because ‘to visit’ is incorrectly used in the blank. Instead of ‘to visit’ (and this is not a verb and) it could be ‘like to visit’. So, ‘I always enjoy to visit friends’ is grammatically incorrect. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option B) For visiting – is an incorrect answer because ‘for visiting’ means ‘invited to join or purpose of visiting’ and using ‘for visiting’ in the blank make the sentence inappropriate. So, this is an incorrect answer i.e. ‘I always enjoy for visiting friends.’

Option C) In visiting – is an incorrect answer because ‘in visiting’ refers when the verb is preceded by ‘in’. ‘I always enjoy in visiting friends’ does not give the correct meaning or grammatically incorrect. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Option D) Visiting – is the correct answer because ‘visiting’ is the most appropriate choice for the blank as it gives the meaning to the sentence and this option is grammatically correct and ‘visiting’ is a verb that explains that the person visits them often. So, this is the correct answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note:In this question option D is the correct choice for the blank and makes the meaningful sentence and also grammatically correct.
