Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The sentence says that the subject couldn't answer something. Thus, it can be concluded that the answer must be something that can be answered.

Option A is incorrect. Breakfast means 'first meal of the day'. It cannot be answered.

Option B is incorrect. Dinner means 'last meal of the day'. It also cannot be answered and is incorrect.

Option C is correct. A question can be answered in an examination. Thus, it is the only and the best fit.

Option D is incorrect. A gate cannot be answered and thus, does not fit in the blank.
