Question

*Entry to the military base is ___________ unless you have a permit.*

1️⃣ granted
2️⃣ allowed
3️⃣ enabled
4️⃣ forbidden​

Answer 1

The correct fill in the blank is - forbidden

• Fill in the blanks involves filling the blank spaces with correct prepositions or words so as to make a meaningful sentence.
• Forbidden refers to not allowed or prohibited.
• Military areas are sensitive and highly protected areas. Generally the entry there is only to military personnel and not the general public.
• Thus, the correct sentence is - Entry to the military base is forbidden unless you have a permit.

Answer 2

Entry to the military base is forbidden unless you have a permit.

Forbidden = Not allowed

• Forbidden is the correct word to fill in the given sentence. As it gives the proper meaning to the sentence.

• Forbidden is defined as "not allowed to do something". The meaning of the given sentence is "There is no entry to the military camp unless you have a permit.

• The other options 'granted' and 'allowed' have the same meaning "to give permission" or "to agree". Another option 'enabled' mean ''to make it possible something".

• There is an "unless'' word in the sentence which means ''except''. So, the words granted, allowed, and enabled are not correct usage to fill in the given blank. Hence, the word ''forbidden'' is the required answer.
