Question

Complete the following sentence using the appropriate option:

I won't tell anybody what you said. _________

• A. I insist.
• B. I suggest.
• C. I promise.
• D. I apologise.

Answer 1

The correct option is C I promise.

Option A; This has a demanding tone, not accepting refusal. The sentence does not have a demanding tone and hence this option is incorrect.

Option B; This is usually used when something is put forward for consideration and this is not the appropriate option to be used here and hence this option is incorrect.

Option C; This is used as a declaration or assurance that one will do something. The sentence is an assurance made and hence this is the correct option.

Option D; This is used to express regret for something that one has done wrong and that is not the feeling that is expressed here. Hence this option is incorrect.
