Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Siraj threw a stone to destroy the _______ built by the bird in a tree.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. nest
Context: The sentence talks about a bird and something it built in a tree. The word should refer to what a bird typically constructs in a tree.
Meaning of the words:
Home – a general place where someone lives; not specific to birds
Roof – the top covering of a house; not relevant here
House – a building for people; not naturally built by birds
Correct word: nest
Reason: Birds build nests, not homes or houses, in trees. The word 'nest' is the precise biological and contextual term for the structure a bird makes.
Final sentence: Siraj threw a stone to destroy the nest built by the bird in a tree.
Hence the chosen option is correct.
