From the words lettered A to E, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.The next nation league match will......sometime next month
A
come in
B
come along
C
come about
D
come off
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The phrase "come off" is often used to indicate the occurrence or execution of an event, plan, or activity. "The next nation league match will come off sometime next month" implies that the match is scheduled to take place or happen in the upcoming month.
Let's briefly look at the other options:
A. come in
- This phrase is not the best fit for the sentence. "Come in" is more commonly used for entering a place rather than describing the scheduling or occurrence of an event.
B. come along
- While "come along" is a valid phrase, it doesn't convey the sense of a scheduled event happening at a specific time, which is the context of the sentence.
C. come about
- "Come about" is used to describe the occurrence or development of a situation, but in this context, it might not convey the intended meaning of a scheduled match.
D. come off
This phrase is suitable in the context of events or activities taking place, making it the most appropriate choice for the given sentence.
