FILL IN THE BLANKS
Answer:
The hospital board clearly mentioned that you cannot smoke in the hospital as it is a health hazard for all.
Explanation:
- We know that smoking is injurious to health and it is prohibited in a hospital, so in the blank we need to fill a word which completes the purpose of prohibiting smoking in the hospital premises.
- We need to fill the blank with a helping verb or an auxiliary verb. Auxiliary/Helping verbs are those words which helps to complete a sentence and give a correct grammatical meaning to it.
- 'Can' is an auxiliary or a helping verb and 'cannot' is its negation. Since, we need to fill a negative word in the blank which serves the purpose of forbidding smoking in the hospital, therefore, the correct answer to the question here is 'cannot.'
- Cannot is a formal way to address whereas, can't i.e., its contraction, is an informal way to address.
- Some more examples of auxiliary or helping verbs are: is, am, are, was, were, may, shall, will, do, has, had etc.
