Vocabulary
option v. alternative
could someone help with this cloze:
The interior minister said that there were three for settling the civil riot in Paris.
A. options B. alternatives
I looked up the dictionary but could not figure out which one A or B better fits in this sentence. The only clue that has ocurred to me is that alternative usually means "one choice of the two". so since in the cloze there are three choices, maybe option is the right right answer.
any comment is welcome. thanx a lot.
