Question 1 Report

Fill in the gap(s) with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap(s).

Her mother said to her 'I _____ the dinner now?

Answer Details
Her mother said to her "I would rather you cooked the dinner now." The correct option to fill in the gap is "would rather you cook." This means that her mother prefers that she cooks the dinner at that moment, rather than doing something else. The use of "would rather" expresses a preference or a desire for a particular action to be taken. The options "would rather you not cooked" and "would rather have you cooked" do not express the same meaning as the original sentence.
