Select the most appropriate option to complete the given sentence.

His brother _______ his ________ and gave him a watch after his result.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. kept, promise.

  • In the sentence, it is mentioned that the brother did something and then gave the person a watch after his result.
  • The word "kept" aligns completely well with the promise, further stating that after the fulfilment of the sentence the latter action was taken.
  • Therefore, it is logical to use the word "kept" to indicate that the brother did not break the promise made by him.
  • The option "kept, promise" fits the sentence structure and conveys the intended meaning that the brother kept his promise and rewarded his brother with a watch.
  • The other options do not provide a suitable and logical meaning in the given context.

Thus, the completed sentence is:

His brother kept his promise and gave him a watch after his result.
