Vocabulary Test 61

The correct answer is Option A.

“you like” in the sentence indicates that an offer is being made to the listener.

Option D: “Would” is used in the cases where a polite offer is being made to the listener. For example, “Would you like to stay with me?”. Hence, this is the correct option.

Option A: “Could” is not used in cases where an offer is being made. It is instead used in cases of polite requests. For example, “Could you please pass the salt?”. Hence this option is incorrect.

Option B: “Should” is used to indicate obligation or ask direct questions. For example, “You should be studying right now.”  
“Should we take a right turn from here?”. It is not used in case of offers. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “Wood” is a material. The trunk and branches of a tree. Here, it is of no relevance within the given sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “write” refers to the act of putting words on a surface. When used, the sentence would represent a polite request to the listener. Hence, this is the correct option.

Option A: “light” refers to the property of having less weight or the physical concept of light. It is of no relevance within the given sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option B: “right” refers to being correct or the right-hand side/ direction. It is of no relevance in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: “white” refers to a colour. It does not have any meaning within the given sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.

The correct answer is Option A.

The correct answer is Option B.

Option A: “two” gives meaning to the sentence. Since, upon using it, the sentence means, “They have a couple of boats.”. Hence, this is the correct option.

Option B: This might be a confusing option since one of the meanings of “too” is “also”. Thus, it might be used to make a sentence which means, “They also have boats.”.

The problem is that when “too” is used in a sentence to mean “also”, it is put before the verb to make a meaningful sentence. For example, “She too can write well”. Since in the given sentence the blank is after “have”, so "too" cannot be used. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “to” means a direction or approach or indication. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: “tool” refers to an instrument or device which has specific uses or objectives. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option D: “flower” makes the sentence a meaningful one. It means, “The flower that is kept in the vase is a species called gladiolus.” Hence, this is the correct option.

Option A: flue refers to a chimney made in factories from where the smoke escapes. This is irrelevant in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option B: “floral” is the quality of being related to flowers or depicting flowers. For example, “A floral design”, “A floral pattern”. It is used as an adjective and does not provide the given sentence with any meaning. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “flour” is ground grain powder. “flour in a vase” does not make any sense, and thus is irrelevant. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Options A and B: 'Began' and 'started' mean the same thing, but their usages are slightly different.
'Begin' means that 'you're performing the first part of an action' whereas 'started' means 'to cause an event to happen'.
When referring to a business, you always 'start a business' and not 'begin a business'.
Hence option A is incorrect and B is correct.
Option C: 'Did' refers to performing an action, it does not agree here as 'business' is not an action.
Option D: 'Hoped' means 'to wish for or expect something to happen'. As a result the sentence sounds vague here, it requires a preposition.
Hence options C and D are incorrect.

Option D: “meat” makes the sentence meaningful. In it the speaker is asking whether there is some meat kept in the fridge. Thus, it is the correct option.

Option A: “moat” refers to a ditch or trench dug around a building (usually a fort) as a form of protection. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option B: “might” is the past tense of “may” and represents a possibility, for example, “She said she might be there.” This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.

Option C: “meet” refers to a planned or unplanned encounter with someone. This is meaningless in the given case. Hence, this option is incorrect.
