Question

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
A ___________ is a useful way to record the important events that have occurred in an area or in a day.

• A. notice
• B. article
• C. report
• D. character sketch

Answer 1

The correct option is C report

Option C: A report is 'a spoken or written account of something that one has observed or investigated'.

The given sentence mentions 'record important events that have occurred in an area or in a day'. For example, a news report.

Hence the answer is 'report' and option C is correct.

Option A: A notice is 'a written or formal information, notification or fact that is put up in a public place for people to read'.

Option B: An article is 'a piece of writing written for a large audience. The main motive behind writing one is to publish in newspapers and magazines so as to educate the readers.' It can be as short as one page or several pages long.

It does not agree with the words 'recording important events'.

Option D: A character sketch is 'a description of a person's qualities'.

These options serve different purposes and do not agree with the given sentence.

Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
