Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
Everyday, in the school, one period is __________ to games, sports and physical exercise.

• A. entrusted
• B. attached
• C. conceded
• D. devoted
• E. conferred

Answer 1

The correct option is D devoted

Option D: 'Devoted' means 'use a certain amount of time for an activity'. Here the school uses a certain amount of time "one period" for an activity "games, sports and physical exercise".

Hence this word forms a complete meaningful sentence and option D is correct.

Option A: 'Entrusted' means 'giving responsibility to someone'.

Option B: 'Attached' means 'connected or joined to something'.

Option C: 'Conceded' means 'admit that something is true'.

Option E: 'Conferred' means 'grant a title or degree'.

These words are not the most suitable to the sentence in meaning and relevance.

Hence options A, B, C and E are incorrect.
