Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. down.

  • The blank in the given passage requires a preposition that would complete the sentence grammatically and make sense in the context of the words.
  • The sentence is providing suggestions for activities one can do, including writing in a journal or writing down their to-do list for the following day.
  • The preposition "down" is often used with the verb "write" to indicate that something is being written on paper or another surface, as opposed to being typed on a computer or device.

Therefore, the completed sentence is:

"Read a book, write in a journal, or write down your to-do list for the following day."
