Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Does anybody know why _________?

• A. does the teacher get angry
• B. Ray is absent
• C. is he waiting outside
• D. are they late

Answer 1

The correct option is B Ray is absent

Option B follows the correct syntax of the question word being followed by the noun, succeeded by the verb. All the statements in options A,C and D begin with the verb, implying a question being asked within an already existing question , also starting with a verb, in this case, does. Hence, Option B is the most appropriate answer.
