Rishi : "_________."

• A. I always oblige my friends
• B. Oh! But the pleasure is mine
• C. So you like my company
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Oh! But the pleasure is mine

In the given sentence, Tahir expresses that he has had a very good time due to Rishi's visit and the time spent by Rishi with Tahir.

Option A: The word, 'oblige' means 'do as (someone) asks or desires in order to help or please them'. The expression in option A means that Rishi has spent time at Tahir's place in order to please him. And that spending time at Tahir's was not really something he would have wanted to do. Such an expression is inappropriate. Hence, option A is incorrect.

Option B: This expression conveys that Rishi was equally if not more happy to have spent time with Tahir. This is an appropriate expression as it conveys joy and friendliness. Hence, option B is correct.

Option C: This expression conveys that Rishi is quite egoistic and thinks he has a done a favour by visiting Tahir. It expresses arrogance and haughtiness. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer.
