Question

Choose the words for each blank that best fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole:
Seventy two year old man _ _ _ _ _ _ half his time in India and the _ _ _ _ _ _ in the US

• A. spend, rests
• B. spends, rest
• C. reside, live
• D. live, remaining

Hint:

Check subject-verb agreement first, then choose words that logically complete the sentence.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Sentence completion requires correct subject-verb agreement and logical meaning. Explanation: The subject is singular (“Seventy two year old man”), so the verb must also be singular — \textit{spends}. The second blank logically completes the phrase “the rest,” which refers to the remaining time. Thus, the correct sentence is:
\textit{Seventy two year old man spends half his time in India and the rest in the US.}
