Fill in the missing word. A baseball team has won 15 of their 20 games so far. The team practices every day in hopes of winning the title at the end of the month. They usually practice indoors when the weather is poor, but today they practiced _______ despite the sun.

Sagot :

The correct answer would be outdoors

These long sentences that would likely be a part of a story are just a compliment to a question about the opposite meaning of a word or what is known as antonym. In this type of question, it is better to just take a look at the blank section directly rather than just wasting time (if it is an exam) to read the whole passage.

Usually, the most important information in filling in the blanks type of question is the previous sentence or in the same sentence. In this question, we are asked to fill what word would fit best with the sentence, because the phrase where the blank is placed is written in this formula:

adverb + subject + verb + _____ + adverb (but today they practiced _____ despite the sun)

Now, look at the phrase and the formula that precedes this one:

subject + adverb + verb + adverb + adverb (they usually practice indoors when the weather is poor.) Did you notice what was missing in the blank? Yes, it is an adverb.

However, which adverb that suits the two phrases so it will form into a sentence, then? There is a clue in the use of "but". This word is used to portray a contrasting statement that will follow the previous one. Back to the question, the adverb that is present there is "indoors", so the opposite adverb that will fill the blank perfectly would be no other than "outdoors".

In addition, one might ask why "outdoor" is not used here. So, there is actually a difference between "outdoor" and "outdoors". While outdoor comes out as an adjective that should describe a noun (for example, outdoor activity), outdoors is a type of adverb of place. Hence, in this context, outdoors is used instead.
