Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

He _____ visits us so we do not know how he is doing.

• A. often
• B. seldom
• C. twice
• D. again

Answer 1

The correct option is B seldom

The second part of the above sentence is the logical conclusion of the first part because of the use of 'so'. When we use 'seldom' in the blank, this condition is fulfilled and the sentence also makes complete sense.

On the other hand, if we use 'again' neither is the condition fulfilled nor does the sentence make any sense. Hence, option D is incorrect.

If 'he' was visiting them 'often', 'we' would know how is he doing. Therefore, option A is incorrect.

The definite number of visits is given as 'twice' and it means that two visits are over. But here the verb 'visits' is in simple present tense and not simple past tense which makes option C incorrect.

Therefore the correct answer is option B.
