What kind of the book do you want?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. kind of book
- The phrase "the book" is incorrect here. In this context, "the" is unnecessary because the question is asking about the type or category of book, not a specific book.
-
"What kind of book" is the correct form as it asks for the type or genre of the book without specifying any particular one.
So the revised sentence should be: "What kind of book do you want?"
