Question

Choose the correct option to fill in the blank so that the sentence uses correct grammar.
He took care of her she was restored to health.

• A. when
• B. before
• C. after
• D. till

Hint:

Look for the word that shows an action continuing right up to a certain point in time.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

This sentence needs a linking word that shows the care continued right up to a certain point in time, her recovery.

1. when: when marks a single point in time or a general condition, as in call me when you arrive. It does not carry the sense of continued action up to a limit, so it is a weak fit here.
2. before: before means earlier than a later event. Using it here would mean the care stopped before she recovered, which reverses the intended meaning.
3. after: after means later than an event. This would mean the care started only once she was already restored to health, which makes no sense in context.
4. till: till, or until, shows an action that continues right up to the moment something else happens. Here, his care continued till, that is up to the point when, she was restored to health.

So till is the option that correctly shows continuous care leading up to her recovery, making option D correct.

Let's summarize:

• till/until: action continues up to a point.
• before/after: mark one event as earlier or later than another, not continuous action.

Reading the sentence as a timeline helps pick the right connector quickly.
