Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
You may write _______ a pencil or a pen.

• A. with
• B. for
• C. in
• D. from

Answer 1

The correct option is A with

Option A: 'With' indicates an agency through which an action is performed. It applies here, the agency being the 'pencil/pen' that performs the action 'write'. Hence option A is correct.

Option B: 'For' indicates a purpose 'for the sake of'. This meaning isn't relevant here, hence B is incorrect.

Option C: 'In' means 'to be surrounded by', or 'enclosed by walls'. The word doesn't complete the sentence in meaning. Hence C is incorrect.

Option D: 'From' refers to a starting point of something, or it indicates a source or origin. It doesn't apply here, the action is not derived from the 'pencil/pen'. Hence D is incorrect.
