Question

Do not get disturbed by _____ kind of rumours.

• A. that
• B. those
• C. this
• D. these

Answer 1

Answer:

A. that

• "that": Correct because "kind" is singular, and "that" is used with singular nouns. "That kind" correctly matches the singular "kind."
• "those": Incorrect because "those" is used for plural nouns, but "kind" is singular.
• "this": Incorrect because "this" is used for singular nouns, but it typically refers to something more immediate or specific, and here the focus is on the type or category, not immediacy.
• "these": Incorrect because "these" is used for plural nouns, and here "kind" is singular.
