Welcome to the forum, 7087abhi.

You have not asked a question, but it looks like you are expecting us to give you a free answer to a homework assignment.

We don't do that here.

Also note that I have changed your thread title. Titles such as "English grammar" are useless. Your titles should include some/all of the words you are asking us about. Remember to actually ask us a question in the main body of your post.

As Rover said, we don't help with homework or assignments here.

Welcome 7087!

There's also an incorrect word in your sentence. Do you see it? Can you fix it?

No matter what answer you put in the blank, the sentence will be wrong.
