Question

Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the following sentence
I will _________ a new project today.
(This question has multiple correct options).
A) Start
B) Begin
C) Perform
D) Win

Answer 1

Hint: The given sentence suggests that the speaker is going to mark the initial of a task that is a new project. We will choose an option that means the starting of a new task. Let us look for the required option among the given options. Our answer should fit the sentence and it should mean ‘ the act of starting something’.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct option with the help of the above stated hint.
Start: The word ‘start’ means to begin or set out, to bring something into action. Example: Start this game. By implying this option, the sentence becomes “I will start a new project today”. This word justifies the meaning of the given sentence. Therefore, this is the correct option.
Begin: The word ‘begin’ means to commence, start , to-bring into action. Example: Let us begin with the reviews. By implying this option, the sentence becomes “I will begin a new project today”. This word justifies the meaning of the given sentence. Therefore, this is the correct option.
Perform: The word ‘perform’ means to carry out, fulfil, execute, to do. Example: Let's perform the dance. By implying this option, the sentence becomes “I will perform a new project today”. This word doesn’t justify the meaning of the given sentence. Therefore, this is not the correct option.
Win: The word ‘win’ means to succeed at something by doing it in the best way as compared to others. Example: I want to win this race. By implying this option, the sentence becomes “I will win a new project today”. This word doesn’t justify the meaning of the given sentence. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answers are option A and B.

Note: The options A and B are both synonymous. The word perform is not close to the answer, as a project is a long term task and we use the word ‘perform’ generally with short term tasks or acts. Example: He will perform the rituals. The word ‘win’ means to be proved as the best in a race or competition. A project is not appropriately described by the verb ‘win’.
