Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. got.

Context: The sentence refers to the milk that the milkmaid obtained from her cows. The verb “got” correctly conveys that she received or collected the milk.

Meaning of the words:

  • Got – correct, meaning obtained or collected.

  • Bought – means purchased, incorrect because she owns the milk.

  • Brought – means carried, incorrect here because the focus is on obtaining the milk, not moving it.

  • Drank – means consumed, incorrect.

Correct word: Got, because it properly expresses that the milkmaid collected the milk from her cows.

Final Sentence: In a small village, lived a milkmaid who sold the milk that she got from her cows.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
