Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

The teacher asked the students to ______ electricity by switching off lights when they left the room. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. save.

  • The word save is the most appropriate choice because it conveys the idea of conserving or using less electricity, which aligns with switching off lights.
  • The other options—deposit (to place something for safekeeping), rescue (to save from danger), and retain (to keep or hold)—do not fit the context of energy conservation. Thus, 'save' effectively communicates the intention of reducing electricity usage.
