Question

Sushil kept walking............(Choose the correct option)

• A. forward
• B. upward
• C. hither
• D. thither

Hint:

Use “forward” to indicate movement ahead; “upward” means to move higher; “hither” and “thither” are rarely used in modern English.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the context.
The sentence talks about continuous movement — “Sushil kept walking.” The correct word must describe the **direction of movement**.
Step 2: Meaning of options.
- (a) forward: Means moving ahead or in the front direction — correct and contextually perfect.
- (b) upward: Means moving towards a higher position — incorrect here.
- (c) hither: Means towards here — archaic usage, not suitable.
- (d) thither: Means towards that place — old-fashioned and incorrect in this sentence.
Step 3: Grammar and usage.
“Kept walking forward” correctly indicates continuous movement in a straight or onward direction.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct sentence is: “Sushil kept walking forward.”
