Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Before you take on the job, will you give me a rough __________ of how much it will cost?

• A. esteem
• B. estimate
• C. realization
• D. value
• E. worth

Answer 1

The correct option is B estimate

Before you take on the job, will you give me a rough 'estimate' of how much it will cost?

The word that suits best to this context is 'estimate', which means an approximate value with which an idea can be formed.

So, option B is correct and the other options are not. Words like esteem, value, worth refer to subjects of 'importance', irrelevant to the context.
