Question

    Fill in the blanks with appropriate words from the

    alternatives given below each sentence. The office needs proper _____
    A cleanliness Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B cleaning Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C to clean Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D clean Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cleanliness is a state of being clean and we are talking rather about a process of cleaning the office. Hence ‘cleaning’ is correct. ‘Clean’ is also correct but had the sentence been talking about a random kind of cleaning such as ‘a proper’, option d would have been correct. ‘To clean’ is incorrect as we need a noun and not a verb.
