Question

Fill in the blank with an appropriate word:
The doctors gave ____ instructions to the nurses.

• A. one
• B. word
• C. verb
• D. oral

Answer 1

The correct option is D oral

Option A is incorrect because 'one' refers to a singular noun, whereas 'instructions' is a plural noun. Option B is incorrect because 'word' is a noun here and cannot modify another noun. Option C is incorrect because it's a part of speech, which refers to an action and wouldn't fit in the given context. Option D is correct because 'oral' means 'something that is spoken', and the instructions here are spoken.
