Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
He is ____________ charming and witty.

Correct option is D

The correct option to fill in the blank is (d) both. The sentence emphasizes that the person possesses two qualities, "charming" and "witty." The conjunction "both" is used to indicate the presence of two attributes or elements.
Grammatical rule used: The "both...and" conjunction is used to link two qualities or items in a positive manner. Hindi explanation: 'Both' का उपयोग दो विशेषताओं या वस्तुओं को जोड़ने के लिए किया जाता है।
Example: He is both intelligent and hardworking.
Meanings of other options:
· (a) not only: न केवल :"Not only" is used in the structure "not only...but also" to show two qualities, but it is incomplete here without "but also." Example: He is not only charming but also witty.
· (b) yet: फिर भी: "Yet" is used to indicate contrast or continuation, but it doesn't fit the positive connotation of the sentence. Example: He is intelligent, yet he makes careless mistakes.
· (c) neither: न तो: "Neither" is used in the structure "neither...nor" to negate both qualities, which is not suitable for the given sentence. Example: He is neither charming nor witty.
