Explanation

Solution: What are you doing now?

[#143] . . . . . . birds, can we fly?
Correct Answer

(B) Like

Explanation

Solution: The correct answer is B: Like. Let's understand why: The sentence needs to compare ourselves to birds. A: Before - This word refers to time and doesn't make sense in the sentence. Example: Before eating, wash your hands. B: Like - This word is used to make a comparison. "Like birds" means similar to birds. This fits the sentence perfectly. Example: He runs like a cheetah. C: As - While "as" can also be used for comparison, it needs more structure in the sentence (like "as birds do"). Simply "As birds" is grammatically incorrect in this context. Example: Do as I say. D: Without - This word means lacking something, which doesn't fit the comparison needed. Example: Without water, we cannot survive. So, the complete and correct sentence is: Like birds, can we fly? which means, "similar to how birds fly, can we also fly?"
