The hill had one of the best views I have ever seen since it overlooked a beautiful creek in the woods.

• A. What did the hill have?
• B. How was the hill's view?
• C. Why did the hill have one of the best views?
• D. Which place did the hill overlook?

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Why did the hill have one of the best views?

A question needs to be framed for which the underlined part, "since it overlooked..." is the answer.
So, the question should ask 'why?', the response to which is a reason, because it begins with 'since'.
Option C: 'Why did the hill have one of the best views?' asks 'why?'. The underlined part is a response to that: 'since it overlooked a beautiful creek...',
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: The response is not 'what the hills have', but it is 'why the hills have one of the best views'.
Hence this question isn't appropriate for the underlined part.
Option B: This question asks 'how the view was'. The underlined part does not answer this question. The response tells 'why' and not 'how', the hills have one of the best views.
Option D: Similarly, the underlined part does not answer the question 'which place'. The response sounds incomplete for this question.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
