Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
A: You bought the tickets, didn't you?
B: No. I ______________, but I didn't have enough money.

• A. Couldn't
• B. Ought to have been
• C. Was supposed to
• D. Might have

Answer 1

The correct option is C Was supposed to

The correct answer is Option C.

WAS SUPPOSED TO means something that was assumed or believed to be the case, but not necessarily so.

In the given sentence, 'B' is believed to have got the tickets but he has not.

Thus Option C is the correct answer.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

COULDN'T means inability.

OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN expresses obligation or duty.

MIGHT HAVE expresses possibility.
