Question

Choose the best answer from the options given.
Mohit, I am just reaching the office. You'll have to wait another ten minutes.

• A. That's OK. I'm not in a hurry.
• B. Oh$!$ I would love to.
• C. That isn't very nice.
• D. That's a good thing.

Answer 1

The correct option is A That's OK. I'm not in a hurry.

Here, we have to find the best response for the given sentence. If someone asks us to wait, who do we say? We generally respond politely. Let's have a look at the options.

Option B - 'Oh! I would love to.' is a polite response, but we never love to wait. This is an inappropriate response. Hence, option B is incorrect.

Option C - As explained earlier, we usually respond politely to our superiors or our colleagues. 'That isn't very nice' is a bit rude. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'That's a good thing' is logically incorrect, as 'waiting' is never a good thing. Also, this response seems to be a little sarcastic. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A - Yes, 'That's OK. I'm not in a hurry' is a comforting and a polite response. Hence, option A is correct.
