Banking Exams English — Question 1894
Question
Read the passage and choose the best word for the blank: 'The internet has revolutionised the way we communicate. Earlier, people had to _____ for days to receive a letter; today, messages are delivered instantly.'
- rush
- wait
- hurry
- travel
Correct answer
B — wait
Explanation (English)
Receiving a letter 'for days' implies a period of delay, so 'wait' is correct. 'Rush' and 'hurry' imply speed, contradicting the delay, and 'travel for days to receive a letter' is illogical.
