Question : Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
The father of the lost child have announced ______ for information about their child.
Option 1: a reward
Option 2: an award
Option 3: a profit
Option 4: a prize
Correct Answer:
a reward
Solution :
The right response is 'a reward.'
- The best response for the given blank is 'a reward.'
- The term "reward" refers to "anything provided to you since you did something excellent, worked hard, etc."
- We usually choose Option 2, however this is incorrect because a 'award' is presented in honour of achievement, but a'reward' is the consequence of an action, which is usually given by someone but can also be achieved autonomously.
- As a result, Option 1 is the correct response.
