Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:

The landlord ____________ the tenant for not paying rent.

• A. evicted
• B. posted
• C. forced
• D. shooed

Answer 1

The correct option is A evicted

Option A is the correct answer as the word 'evicted' means to 'forcefully leave someone or throw out'. As the tenant didn't pay the rent, the landlord forced the tenant to legally vacate.
Option B is incorrect as 'posted' means to employ or keep someone on duty. It is not right for this sentence.
Option C is incorrect because 'forced' doesn't complete the sentence's meaning properly.
Option D is incorrect because 'shooed' means to drive away. 'Shooed' is generally used for animals hence it's not the appropriate word for this sentence.
