"I have not yet decided what I will do this evening; I ______ visit a friend." A. mite B. would C. might D. didn't

GATE 2023 · General Aptitude · Most Appropriate Word · medium

Answer: C. might

  1. Identify semantic requirement from context: The phrase 'I have not yet decided' signals that the action (visiting a friend) is not certain — it is merely a possibility. The modal verb must express possibility, not intention or certainty.
  2. Eliminate wrong options: A. 'mite' — a noun (tiny creature), not a modal verb; grammatically impossible here. D. 'didn't' — past tense negative; contradicts the future context of the sentence. B. 'would' — expresses a decided intention or conditional, but the speaker has NOT decided; semantically incorrect.
  3. Confirm 'might' is correct: 'I might visit a friend' = there is a possibility I will visit a friend; the final decision has not been made. This perfectly matches 'I have not yet decided'. The sentence reads smoothly and logically.
