Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. The suspects had to go through ______ parade so that the real culprit could be caught.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. an identification.
Context: The sentence talks about a process where suspects are lined up to be recognized by witnesses.
Meaning of the words:
Identify – verb, means to recognize
Identification – noun, the process of recognizing someone
Identified – verb (past form), already recognized
Correct word: Identification is the correct noun to describe the process.
Reason: We need a noun after “go through” because it talks about going through a process. Also, “an” is used correctly before a vowel sound.
Final Sentence: The suspects had to go through an identification parade so that the real culprit could be caught.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
