Decide one way or the other; you can’t be sitting on the fence forever.

A) be seated on the fence B) be sitting and fencing
C) be dancing on the fence D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) No improvement

Explanation:

‘Sitting on the fence’ is the correct idiom used. It is used to describe a person’s lack of decisiveness, neutrality or hesitance to choose between two sides in an argument or a competition, or inability to decide due to lack of courage. Thus, the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘Decide one way or the other; you can’t be sitting on the fence forever’.

She told her teacher that she (a)could not be able to attend the class the (b)am previous day because of heavy rains.(c)No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
