    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
    I am ___________ after five years.

    A.

    frying an exam

    B.

    keeping an exam

    C.

    taking an exam

    D.

    making an exam

    Correct option is C

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) taking an exam.
    ✔ Explanation of correct answer:
    · The correct collocation is “taking an exam”, which means appearing for or sitting in an examination.
    · None of the other options form grammatically or idiomatically correct phrases with "exam".
    Example: After a long break, I am taking an exam to rejoin the course.
    Why others are incorrect: · (a) Frying an exam – Incorrect and meaningless phrase.
    · (b) Keeping an exam – Incorrect usage; not idiomatic.
    · (d) Making an exam – Only used for examiners preparing the question paper, not students.
    �� Collocation Tip:
    �� Take/appear for/give an exam = Sit in an exam.
    �� Set/make an exam = Prepare an exam paper (by teachers).
