Son: Mummy. I’ve been selected as the best student of the school.
Mummy: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

a)Thank you. You are my star.
b)Well done! Congrats my son.
c)You deserve it
d)Both A and C

Answer 1

Hint: The boy is telling his mom about his achievement, so his mom would appreciate him in return.

Complete answer:

Option a “Thank you. You are my star” Is incorrect because Thank you is said when one wants to express gratitude for something, like a favor. Thank you would be inappropriate here. Thus, option ‘a’ is incorrect.
Option c “You deserve it.” Can be a reply to the statement of the boy but, it would not be the most accurate reply to the buy’s statement. So, let us look at the other options before concluding.
Option b, “Well done! Congrats my son.” is the correct answer. As this is an appreciative response of a mother to her son’s achievement.
Option d “Both A and C” is incorrect because we have already ruled option ‘a’.
Therefore, Option c is incorrect too. And Option b is the correct and the most appropriate answer.

Note: Option c is not the appropriate answer as that would be invalid in the context. As the son is telling about his achievement and that would be followed by a sense of appreciation.
