Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:My father gets very angry with us whenever we make a mistake, he has no ____ for mistakes.
The correct option is A tolerance
The word which fills the blank is an adjective because it
describes the subject, "my father". The clue lies in the words:"My father gets very
angry with us whenever we make a mistake". These words describe the
subject, "my father". Let us look at the meaning of each word in the given options.
The word, "tolerance" is an abstract noun which means:
The ability or willingness to allow the opinions or behaviour that one dislikes
or disagrees with. "He has no tolerance" means he does not have
the willingness to allow other's mistakes. It means that he can get irritated
or angry very easily if somebody makes a mistake. This perfectly describes the
subject, "my father", who is a person who gets very angry easily.
Hence, this word most appropriately describes the subject, "my
father". Hence, option A is correct.
Option B: The word, "impatience" is an abstract noun
which means: The tendency to be irritable or restless. "He has no
impatience" can be restated as "He has a lot of patience". A
person who has lot of patience does not get angry very easily. Hence,
this word cannot describe the subject, "my father", who is a person who gets very
angry easily. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C: The word "solution" is a noun
which means: The answer to a problem. It is not an adjective and it cannot describe
a person who gets
very angry easily. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: The word, "tolerate" is a verb which means:
Allow the existence or behaviour or practice something that one dislikes or
disagrees with. As tolerate is a verb and the blank has to be filled in by
an adjective, this option is incorrect.
