Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I want to go ____ this weekend.

• A. everywhere
• B. mountains
• C. somewhere
• D. beach

Answer 1

The correct option is C somewhere

In the given sentence, the answer will modify the verb 'to go'. Thus, the answer must be an adverb. Further, the sentence indicates that the subject wants to go to a place(not yet specified) during the weekend and the answer must convey this meaning.

Option A is incorrect. 'everywhere' is an adverb and it also fits with 'to go' but, it indicates that the subject wants to go to each and every place this weekend. Thus, the meaning conveyed is unrealistic and so, 'everywhere' is not the best fit for the blank.

Option B is incorrect. 'mountains' is not an adverb, it is a noun. Thus, it cannot be used to modify verbs and is incorrect.

Option C is correct. 'somewhere' is an adverb that fits well with 'to go'. It modifies the verb to indicate that the subject wants to go to some place which is not yet specific. Thus, it is correct.

Option D is incorrect. 'beach' is not an adverb, it is a noun. Thus, it cannot be used to modify verbs and is incorrect.
