Question

Complete the sentence using the most appropriate option:

These tennis courts don't get _______ very often. Not many people want to play.

• A. attacked
• B. invited
• C. used
• D. closed

Answer 1

The correct option is C used

The sentence 'Not many people want to play.' Tells us that the court is not being 'occupied' or 'being played on' very often. Thus we have to find a word that is closest in meaning to the above words.

Option A is incorrect as attacked means to cause harm and the court is not being harmed.

Option B is incorrect. Invited means to 'ask to enter' or 'ask to one's house'. It does not fit in the blank at all.

Option C is correct. Used is the closest in meaning to 'occupied' and so, it is the best fit.

Option D is incorrect. Closed suggests that the court is open most of the time. This does not justify the second part of the sentence.
