Question

Suppose Kevin's parents have left town and he is alone at home for a day. He writes a diary entry for the day. Complete the diary entry choosing the correct option for blank 26 from the given alternatives:

• A. Sunday, 10th January, 20XX
• B. To me
• C. To diary
• D. Today, 10th January, 20XX

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Diary entry is a personal and informal document. It records an individual's account of a day of his/ her life. On the top left corner of the diary entry, the day and date have to be written. Hence, blank no. 26, has to be filled with the day and date.

The format of the date is:Date (Eg: 24th) month (name of the month), and year (in four digits). Hence, the correct format for recording the day and the date is: Sunday, 10th January, 20XX and option A is correct. Option D is incorrect as the word, 'Today' is not written in the beginning of the diary entry. However, the word, 'today' can be used to begin the sentence which describes the events of the day or the writer's feelings.

The words, 'To diary' and 'To me' are not written in separate lines in a diary entry. Hence, options B and C are correct.
