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:

My father's seventieth birthday...........a celebration.

Answer Details
The correct option is "calls for." The phrase "calls for" means that there is a need or requirement for something. In this case, the sentence is discussing the occasion of a father's seventieth birthday, which is a significant milestone. Therefore, it is appropriate to say that this event "calls for" a celebration. Option A, "is called for," is grammatically incorrect. Option B, "will be called for," implies that the celebration has not yet been decided upon, which is not the case in the sentence. Option D, "call for," is also grammatically incorrect as it does not agree with the subject-verb agreement of the sentence.
