Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the sentence: 'They could (always) stay in, or go for a walk.'

We are to replace '(always)' with the correct word so that the sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense.

Option 1: 'had better' – This would make the sentence: 'They could had better stay in, or go for a walk.' This is grammatically incorrect.

Option 2: 'not only' – This would make the sentence: 'They could not only stay in, or go for a walk.' This is incomplete; 'not only' should be paired with 'but also'.

Option 3: 'either' – This would make the sentence: 'They could either stay in, or go for a walk.' This is correct, as 'either...or...' is the right correlative conjunction for presenting two alternatives.

Option 4: 'neither' – This would make the sentence: 'They could neither stay in, or go for a walk.' This is incorrect; 'neither' should be paired with 'nor', not 'or'.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'either'.
