Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.
He gave me an additional ______ of Rs. 800 a month by permission of the manager.
Option 1: pay
Option 2: salary
Option 3: allowance
Option 4: perquisites
Correct Answer: allowance
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
- Allowance means a sum of money given to someone on a periodic basis, which fits perfectly into the meaning of the sentence.
- Other options, like pay, mean the money an employer receives from an employee; salary means a fixed, regular basis of pay; and perquisites mean additional benefits or privileges; all of which don't fit contextually.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "He gave me an additional allowance of Rs. 800 a month by permission of the manager."
