Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
I will probably work __________ six.

• A. for
• B. under
• C. by
• D. until

Answer 1

The correct option is D until

Option D: 'Until' refers to time. It means 'up to the time till'. This word applies here in meaning. Hence option D is correct.

Option A: 'For' means 'the sake of', 'intended to be given to'. Here, the word does not complete the sentence in meaning.

Option B: 'Under' means 'at a lower level than'. This word isn't relevant to the time mentioned 'six'. ('Under six' would refer to the age of six.)

Option C: 'By' refers to a deadline or a time by which something should happen. But the action here continues till six. When we use 'by', it creates a different meaning, 'I will probably work by the time it's six'.

This meaning is strange. Hence option C is incorrect.
