Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
"Why isn't there any hot water?"
"The central heating is ________. That's why."

• A. in
• B. on
• C. at
• D. off

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

off

The descriptive adjective is an adjective which describes different qualities of a noun or a pronoun being modified. E.g. Alex is a nice person. The given sentence is asking about the reason for not having hot water. 'Off' describes the quality of the central heating. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
