Fill in the blank with the appropriate word.

The manager _____ (to) a pay hike next month.

AElude

BIllusion

CCollude

DAllude

Answer:

D. Allude

Read Explanation:

  • Allude – ✅ To refer to something indirectly

    "The manager alluded to a pay hike" means they hinted at or suggested it without saying it directly.

  • Elude – ✖ To escape or avoid

    Not relevant in this context (e.g., "The thief eluded capture").

  • Illusion – ✖ A false idea or appearance

    A noun, not a verb; doesn’t fit grammatically.

  • Collude – ✖ To conspire or secretly cooperate

    Negative connotation, not appropriate here.
