Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
The accident took place because of the criminal __________ of the driver.
A) Performance
B) Disregard
C) Negligence
D) Slackness

Answer 1

Hint: We have to choose the appropriate option which is the most suitable for the given situation. The given situation clearly shows signs of carelessness.

Complete answer:
The situation clearly shows signs of grave carelessness. We have to find the word which refers to the irresponsibility which caused the accident.

Now let us look into the given options:
A) Performance : The word performance does not refer to the irresponsibility or the carelessness of the driver. Hence, this is not the correct answer.
B) Disregard : The word disregard does not refer to the irresponsibility or the carelessness of the driver. Hence, this is not the correct answer.
C) Negligence : The word negligence clearly shows the irresponsibility or the carelessness of the driver who caused the accident. Hence this is the correct answer.
D) Slackness : The word slackness does not refer to the irresponsibility or the carelessness of the diver. Hence, this is not the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct option is C) Negligence i.e, ‘The accident took place because of the criminal negligence of the driver.’

Note: Reread the sentence after we have put the option in the blank. The term is correct if the sentence is grammatically and logically correct. Replace the chosen option for a more well-matched and meaningful choice if the sentence doesn't make sense. Continue to fill in the blanks with terms from the options until we are certain that the sentence's pattern or syntax is correct. The word we choose must allow us to read the sentence accurately and smoothly without making any grammatical errors, and it must also give the sentence a logical sense.
