Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
The police wanted ____ our car to a side street.

• A. us to move
• B. well to move
• C. we moved
• D. is moved

Answer 1

The correct option is A us to move

The given sentence already contains a verb 'wanted'. Thus, the answer must contain a non finite verb that indicates the police's wish for the objects to shift their car to the side of the road. Further, the answer must also contain a pronoun that refers to the objects.

Option A is correct. 'us to move' contains a pronoun 'us' that refers to the objects of the given sentence. Further, it also contains a non finite verb that suggests the police's wish for the objects to shift their car to the side of the road.

Option B is incorrect. 'well to move' contains a non finite verb 'to move' but, the word 'well' is an adjective and not a pronoun which refers to the objects of the sentence. Thus, it is incorrect

Option A is incorrect. 'we moved' contains a main verb 'moved' and having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect.

Option A is incorrect. 'is moved' contains a main verb 'moved' and having two main verbs in one sentence will make it grammatically incorrect. Further, it also does not contain a pronoun that refers to the objects of the sentence. Thus, it is the incorrect answer.
