SSC MTS - 13/11/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • English • Q73

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
A buzzing ______ can ____ dangerous.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. bee; be.

Context: The sentence talks about something that “buzzes” and “can be dangerous.” The word “buzzing” clearly refers to an insect — a bee.

Meaning of the words:

  • Dear; deer – unrelated to buzzing or danger.

  • Be; bee – incorrect order; doesn’t make sense grammatically.

  • Bee; be – correct, as it fits both grammar and meaning.

  • Deer; dear – incorrect; deer don’t buzz.

Correct words: Bee (noun) – an insect that buzzes,
Be (verb) – expresses existence or condition.

Final Sentence: A buzzing bee can be dangerous.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
