Question

Replace the underlined verb in the given sentence with a suitable option:
What is your impress of the new appointee?

• A. Impressed
• B. Impressing
• C. Impression
• D. Impresses

Answer 1

The correct option is C Impression

In the given sentence, the underlined word is the object of the verb 'is'. An object of a verb is a noun, and hence the suitable option should be a noun. 'Impress' is a verb and must be replaced by a noun.

Option C: The noun form of 'impress' is 'impression'. Hence it's the most suitable option.

Option A: 'Impressed' is a verb form in the past tense.

Option B: 'Impressing' is a verb form in the present continuous tense.

Option D: 'Impresses' is also a verb form, in the simple present tense.

These words are all verbs whereas the suitable option must be a noun.

Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
