Fill in the blanks by choosing most appropriate option
"It is not very cold. I don't think we need these woollen sweaters."
"I don't think so, _____."
"It is not very cold. I don't think we need these woollen sweaters."
"I don't think so, _____."
- Anyway
- neither
- either
- too
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: “Either” is used in negative sentences to agree with a negative statement. In this case, the speaker is agreeing with the idea that they don’t need the woolen sweaters.
Step 2: “Anyway” is used to dismiss the importance of something but does not fit the context of agreeing with a negative statement.
Step 3: “Neither” is typically used in a context where two negative choices are being discussed, and “too” is used to mean “also,” which doesn’t apply here.
Thus, the correct answer is: “either.”
