Subtopic: Basic English Grammar & Vocabulary

Question Statement:

Choose the appropriate word/phrase, out of the four options given below, to complete the following sentence: Frogs __________.

Options:

  • (A) croak
  • (B) roar
  • (C) hiss
  • (D) patter

Official Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Each option is the characteristic sound/action of a specific animal: frogs ‘croak’, lions ‘roar’, snakes ‘hiss’, and rain ‘patters’. Only ‘croak’ correctly describes the sound frogs make, so (A) is correct; the remaining options describe sounds/actions of other subjects and are distractors based on superficial sound-word association.
