Question

Unfortunately the driver..... the red light

Answer 1

Unfortunately the driver jumped the red light.

• Look at the sentence structure. It is clear that the driver did something about the red light. Thus, the blank needs to be filled using a verb or a phrasal verb.
• Next identify the verbs that can be used here. Some possible verbs can be 'saw', 'ignored', 'turned off', 'turned on', 'jumped' and so on.
• Try to fit each of these in the blank and read the sentence.
• Check the meaningfulness of the sentence. The sentence does not make sense with some of these verbs, especially because of the word 'unfortunately'. For example: Unfortunately the driver saw the red light.
• There is nothing 'unfortunate' about seeing a red light. So, 'saw' cannot be the right answer.
• The word 'ignored' fits in well, but the best match is the word 'jumped'. 'Jumping' a red light means to ignore it, and drive. It is against the law to jump the light because it can unfortunately cause accidents.

Thus, the correct answer is 'jumped'.
