Question

Complete the sentence using the most appropriate option:

What a stupid thing to do! Can you imagine anybody ______ so stupid?

• A. trying
• B. using
• C. being
• D. seeing

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

being

Here the keyword is stupid. The action that best accompanies the word 'stupid' is the correct answer.

Option A is incorrect. Trying does not fit with stupid. Also, it makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.

Option B is incorrect. It is incorrect for the same reasons as option A.

Option C is correct. 'Being so stupid' makes perfect sense. Thus, it is the only option that fits with 'stupid'.

Option D is incorrect. Seeing also does not fit with stupid and using it also makes the sentence grammatically wrong.
