Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
I had occasion..........Abuja last month

for visiting

of visiting

to visit

in visiting

Answer Details

The correct option is C, "to visit." "I had occasion to visit Abuja last month" means that there was a reason or opportunity for me to go to Abuja, and I took advantage of it. The phrase "had occasion to" is another way of saying "had reason to" or "needed to," so the most appropriate choice is "to visit." Option A, "for visiting," is not grammatically incorrect but doesn't convey the same meaning as "to visit." Option B, "of visiting," is not a correct phrase to use in this context. Option D, "in visiting," is grammatically correct but doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
