Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

Why not _______ the meeting for Monday morning?

• A. Schedule
• B. Scheduling
• C. You schedule
• D. Do you schedule

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Schedule

Option A is the correct answer because ‘ to schedule’ means to lay a time table of the events that are to take place, so the speaker means to say that they should lay the time table(schedule) and place the meeting in the morning on Monday.

Option B is incorrect because ‘why not’ is asked a s a question to suggest that they should schedule it to Monday morning, as a strong point of suggestion. It would be correct if the statement was “What about scheduling the meeting...”

option C is incorrect because a question that involves ‘you’ needs to include a form of ‘be’ like ‘do’ in it, so it would be correct if ‘ why do not you schedule the meeting...”

Option D is incorrect bacause why not do you schedule the meeting has the words arranged in the wrong order, as the correct order should be “why do not you schedule” as the second person singular form of ‘be’ that is ‘do’ is followed by ‘not’
