Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
To avoid ___________ on the roads, proper signs and signals should be put up.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

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

  • The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is "congestion" because it refers to the overcrowding or heavy traffic on the roads, which proper signs and signals aim to manage and reduce.
  • The other options are not relevant to the context: "sleeping" pertains to resting, "stuffing" means filling tightly, and "chuffing" refers to a puffing sound, none of which relate to road traffic management. Thus, "congestion" is the fitting choice for the given sentence.
