Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

I asked Meg earlier if she thought it would rain and she said, 'I __________.'

• A. hope
• B. hope it
• C. hope not
• D. don't hope so

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

hope not

Option C correctly justifies the tone and meaning of the sentence, being in correct syntax to make perfect meaning of the statement. The statements of options A,B and C fail to make sense of the situation and, thus, are all incorrect in this context.
