Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
But my children hate __________.

• A. sightsee
• B. to sightsee
• C. sightseeing
• D. will sightsee

Answer 1

The correct option is C sightseeing

Answer : C

In the sentence, "My Children" is the Subject, "hate" is the verb.

The structure of the sentence is that of Active Voice, i.e. Subject + Verb + Object. The subject is directly acting on the object.

And according to the grammar rules, the the gerund form of the verb can be used as objects in sentences with Active Voice.

The gerund form can be made by adding "ing" to the base form of the verb.

Here, the gerund form of the verb "sightsee", is "sightseeing".

And thus, the correct complete sentence is:

But my children hate SIGHTSEEING.
