Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence from the given alternatives. Indicate your option.
Professional people nowadays appreciate ______ when it is necessary to cancel an appointment.

• A. Your calling them
• B. That you would call them
• C. You to call them
• D. You are calling them

Answer 1

The correct option is A Your calling them

Here the call is used in the sense of a gerund, that is a verb turned into noun by adding "ing". Since the call is the discretion of the person calling, a possessive pronoun is to be used, here in second person singular, that is, "your". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
