    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
    Their idea of a holiday ______ at a luxury resort.

    A.

    is relaxing

    B.

    is relax

    C.

    is relaxed

    D.

    is to relaxing

    Correct option is A

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) is relaxing.
    Explanation:
    The sentence is describing what their idea of a holiday is – and the word that fits naturally in this context is the gerund (verb+ing) form “relaxing”.
    After “is”, we can use a gerund to describe a concept or experience.
    Example:
    ✔ My idea of fun is swimming in the sea.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · is relax: Incorrect – "relax" is the base verb, not suitable after “is” when used as a complement. (relax = आराम करना)
    · is relaxed: Incorrect – “relaxed” is a past participle/adjective, not fitting the context of describing an activity. (relaxed = आराम महसूस करना)
    · is to relaxing: Incorrect – “to” should be followed by base verb, not gerund. (to relaxing ❌ → to relax ✅)
    �� Info Booster:
    “Gerund” form (verb+ing) is used after be verbs when referring to general ideas or activities.
    Structure: Subject + is/was + verb-ing (gerund) = general idea
