Multiple choice

Directions: In this question, two sentences I and II are given. Each sentence has a blank. Five words, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are suggested. Out of these, only one fits at both the places in the context of each sentence. The number of that word is the answer.

I A __________ of stair leads to the upper floor. II The family failed to board the ___________.

  1. plane

  2. train

  3. run

  4. flight

  5. spiral
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

'Flight' fits both contexts: 'a flight of stair' is a set of stairs between landings; 'board the flight' refers to an airplane journey. The other options (plane, train, run, spiral) don't work for the first context - a 'flight of stairs' is the correct collocation.
