Question

Choose the word which best fills the blank from the four options given.

Which programme do you want to ______?

• A. See
• B. Watch
• C. Look
• D. Observe

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

See is the ordinary verb to say that something ‘comes to our notice’ and does not necessarily mean that we pay attention to it.

When we look at something we are trying to see what it is – we are paying attention.
Watch has a similar meaning to 'look' but we usually use watch for TV shows, events, etc.

Observe means to notice or perceive (something) and register it as being significant.
Here, the sentence is talking about a programme (or an event) and so the best word to use is 'watch' and the correct answer is option B).
