Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):

I have only three tubers of yam _____ in the store, i cannot afford to give you any more

Answer Details
The sentence implies that the speaker has a limited amount of yam in their store and cannot give away more than they have. The missing word should convey that only a certain amount of yam is available. The word that best fits the sentence is "left", which means the remaining quantity of yam. Therefore, the correct answer is option (C) "left". The complete sentence would be: "I have only three tubers of yam left in the store, I cannot afford to give you any more."
