SSC MTS - 25 July 2022 - Shift 2 • English • Q16

Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
My mother ______ the maid for her hard work.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e praised.

  • The verb "praise" means to express approval or admiration for someone or something.
  • The sentence suggests that the mother expressed her appreciation for the maid's hard work, which fits the definition of "praise".
  • The other options, "prayed", "priced", and "prised", do not fit the context of the sentence.
  • "Prayed" means to make a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity, which is not relevant to the sentence.
  • "Priced" means to determine the cost of something, and "prised" means to force open, neither of which make sense in this sentence.

Thus, the correct sentence is:

My mother praised the maid for her hard work.
