Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She enjoys _____ to parties.

• A. to go
• B. that they go
• C. going
• D. go

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

going

The given sentence indicates that the subject likes being at parties. The sentence contains a main verb 'enjoys'. Thus, the answer must be a non-finite verb or a main verb accompanied by a conjunction.

Option A is incorrect. 'to go' is an infinitive. Infinitives are generally used as conjunctions and using a conjunction here will make the sentence incorrect as there will be no main verb in the subordinate clause.

Option B is incorrect. 'that they go' contains a main verb accompanied by a conjunction but, the pronoun 'they' does not refer back to the subject. Thus, it is incorrect.

Option C is correct. 'going' is a non-finite verb of the gerund form. It also indicates that the subject enjoys being at parties. Thus, it is the correct answer.

Option D is incorrect. 'go' is a verb. Since it is not accompanied by a conjunction, it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
