Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "I ________ (do) mind eating in fast food restaurants on weekends," we need to fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb "do."
Choosing the Right Option
- The subject of the sentence is "I."
- The phrase "I mind" means that the speaker has a negative feeling or discomfort about something.
- To express a negative, we use "do not" (contracted as "don't") with the subject "I."
Analysis of Options
- Option a) do: This is incorrect because it doesn't convey a negative meaning; it would imply the speaker does mind eating at fast food restaurants.
- Option b) don't: This is the correct answer. "I don't mind" means the speaker is okay with eating in fast food restaurants on weekends.
- Option c) does: This is incorrect because "does" is used with third-person singular subjects like "he," "she," or "it," not with "I."
- Option d) doesn't: This is also incorrect for the same reason as option c; "doesn't" is used with third-person subjects.
Conclusion
The correct completion is "I don't mind eating in fast food restaurants on weekends," indicating that the speaker is comfortable with this activity. Thus, option 'B' is the right choice.
