Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct word to fill the blank. Two words at A and B are provided for choice. If either of the words can be chosen, choose C and if none of the words can be chosen, then choose D as your choice:
She has learnt her ________.

A
Lesson

B
Lessen

C
Any one of these

D

The word 'lessen' means 'to make something less'. It's a verb. This word does not fit into the sentence in meaning as well as in structure. The object of the verb 'learnt' must be a noun 'lesson' and not another verb 'lessen'.
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
Options C and D are incorrect for the same: C cannot be correct because B is incorrect, and D cannot be correct because A is correct.
