Question

In the following sentence, one word has been omitted. Pick the option that has the missing word along with the words that come before and after it:

Car tyres act as cushions for the wheels give the car a good grip on the road.

• A. Wheels to give.
• B. Wheels for give
• C. Wheels and give
• D. Wheels of give.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Wheels and give

The sentence has two parts: 'car tyres act as cushions' and 'give the car a good grip on the road'. Both are about the tyres. When we have added information or when we state alternatives, we use the conjunction 'and' to connect the two parts of the sentence. Since the sentence is talking about how tyres 'act as cushions' as well as 'give the car a grip on the road,' the right option is C. Options A), B) and D) are grammatically incorrect in the sentence.
