Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We always ______ lemonade in the evenings.
A) To drink
B) Has
C) Drinking
D) Have

Answer 1

Hint:Most appropriate word means the word that is best fit in the blank keeping in mind that it gives a meaningful sense.

Complete answer:
Option A) To drink – is an incorrect answer because ‘to drink’ does not go well in the sentence. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Has – is an incorrect answer because ‘has’ is used with the third person singular. So, in the sentence there is no third person. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Drinking – is an incorrect answer because it does not give any sense if we use drinking in the blank. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) have – is the correct answer because ‘have’ is used with some pronouns and plural nouns and the meaning of have is to consume. So, in the sentence the speaker is saying that they consume lemonade. Thus, this is the correct answer.

Hence the correct answer is option D.

Note: While the verb to have and has many different meanings, its primary meaning is “to possess, own, hold for use, or contain.” Have and has indicate possession in the present tense (describing events that are currently happening like in the sentence given in the question). Have is used with the pronouns I, you, we, and they, while has is used with he, she, and it. So, Option D is the most appropriate answer as compared to the other options.
