Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3. i.e. alternative, apart.

  • The word "alternative" fits the context and meaning of the sentence. It means that the speaker suggested two different or substitute dates for the person to choose from.

  • The word "apart" is the correct choice as it indicates that the suggested dates are at a certain distance from each other, specifically a few days apart.

  • Other given options do not make the given sentence coherent.

Thus, the completed sentence would be:

I suggested her two alternative dates, both in the coming month and just a few days apart from each other to start her singing practice.
