Question

Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the following sentence:
He _____ a business with his father's money.

• A. began
• B. started
• C. did
• D. performed

Answer 1

The correct option is B started

Options A and B: We use begin and start to mean the same thing: the opening of a new action or task.
But, we use 'start', not 'begin', to talk about creating a new business.
Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Did' means 'to perform an action'. It does not relate to 'business', as business is not an action. Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D: Similarly, 'performed' also refers to an execution of an action.
Hence option D is incorrect.
