The teacher asked the students to stay _________ during the exam.
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

Context: The sentence talks about students being silent during the exam. The blank must indicate absence of noise.

Meaning of the words:

  • quit – to stop or leave
  • quote – to repeat someone’s words
  • quiet – free from noise, silent
  • quite – completely or entirely

Correct word: quiet

Final Sentence: The teacher asked the students to stay quiet during the exam.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
