Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence:

The director _________ to us that there had been financial problems earlier in the year.

• A. Concluded
• B. Offered
• C. Revealed
• D. Told

Answer 1

The correct option is C Revealed

Option C: 'Revealed' means 'to make known or disclose'. The meaning is relevant to the sentence: the director made known to us... .

Hence option C is correct.

Option A: 'Concluded' means 'to bring to an end', 'to finish'.

Option B: 'Offered' means 'to present for acceptance or rejection'.

The words are irrelevant to the sentence in meaning.

Option D: 'Told' means 'said to someone'.

The word 'to' is already present in the sentence, hence the meaning would be repetitive: 'said to to us'.

So options A, B and D are wrong.
