Question and options
Directions: Read the lines from a conversation between a receptionist and Mr. Frank and complete them with the missing word.
Receptionist: Are you a teacher?
Frank: No, I’m _____. I’m a doctor.
Frank: No, I’m _____. I’m a doctor.
- he
- a teacher
- not
- am
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - not
The short negative answer is 'No, I'm not', followed here by the correction 'I'm a doctor'. 'I'm a teacher' contradicts the 'No', 'I'm he' does not answer the question, and 'I'm am' doubles the verb.
