fill in the blank spaces in the following sentences making use of the best of the five options :

I was in such a hurry, I didn’t have time to …. Hello.

  • E Utter
jamb 1981english-language

The correct answer is D. Say

The correct option to fill in the blank space is "Say".

So, the complete sentence would be: "I was in such a hurry, I didn’t have time to say hello."

In this context, "say" is the most appropriate verb to use.

Options A, B, C, and E could also be used in different contexts, but they don't fit the structure of the sentence as well as "say" does.

"Say hello" is a common expression indicating a simple greeting, making it the most suitable choice here.
