I don’t feel any … to give my boss more than two weeks notice when I leave.
A. obliged
B. obligated
C. obligation
D. obligatory
From my understanding, the answer can be both noun or adjective so all the 4 choices
are possibly grammatically correct. After looking at the meaning of each choice, I still can’t decide which one is the most appropriate to this question as they all have a very similar meaning.
Correct answer with comprehensive explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul
obliged, obligated - would be correct if the word ‘any’ were not included.
obligatory does not work there at all.
A noun is required.
You should be able to work out the correct answer now.
Thank you so much for your explanation Beenees.
Anyway, I still don’t clearly understand why that is.
I realize that “feel any” … should be followed by a noun.
Anyway, I have seen some sentences indicating that “feel any” can be followed by an adj., such as "Do you feel any better? "
Why is only noun required here?
Are obliged and obligated totally incorrect here or just less appropriate?
If “any” is not included, why obligatory (adj. form of obligate) does not work here at all?
Additional question
I came across this question in TOEIC test.
- It is advised … to do something
- It is advisable … to do something
Which one is correct?
I think both are interchangable but if we were to choose
why would the latter one be correct?
Contexct dictates that a noun is needed.
The other options are totally incorrect.
The answer is (s) as you have indicated.
It is advised that you…
It is advisable to…
Could you distinguish between ‘obliged’ and ‘obligated’, Bev? What is the nuance involved?
oof… this is so hard to remember…
