Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
One should keep _________ surroundings neat and tidy.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. one’s.
The sentence is:
'One should keep _________ surroundings neat and tidy.'
The subject 'One' is an impersonal pronoun, so it should be followed by the possessive form 'one’s' (meaning 'belonging to one').
Let’s eliminate the other options:
ones – This is a plural form, not a possessive. Incorrect in this context.
there – Refers to a place, not possession.
there's – A contraction of 'there is', which is completely inappropriate here.
