Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
____ waste any more time on this project.

• A. Do
• B. Don't we
• C. Let's
• D. Let's not

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Let's not

Let’s examine the sentence: “____ waste any more time on this project.” The sentence talks about ‘wasting’ the time and so we can assume the blank would have a negative word to suggest ‘not to waste time.’ This rues out Option A and C as they do not contain a negative word. Option B cannot be used as questions start with ‘don’t’ and this sentence is a statement and not a question. Hence, Option D is the correct answer. It is a contraction of 'let us not.'
