Answers
Answer:
B
Explanation:
because Rakesh is taking permission to take or see the thing which belongs to Vilas.
The correct answer for the underlined question is :
B. Seeking permission.
Explanation:
When a sentence starts with 'will you please ' or the word 'please' is present in the sentence then it is known that the sentence is not an assertive one.
The sentence is a request.
We often say please as a manner of being polite so that the person agrees and gives his or her consent on the matter.
Here in this case, Vilas, is asking Rakesh politely if he could borrow his notebook because the teacher said Rakesh's essay was really good.
We cannot touch other's property without the owner's permission and so Vilas is seeking out Rakesh's permission to see his notebook and read his essay.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
