Determiner Selection for Sentence Completion
The sentence "You can park on _____ side of the street" requires a word to indicate which side(s) are available for parking. The options suggest different quantities or choices.
Analyzing the Options
- Option 1: all - "You can park on all side of the street." This is grammatically incorrect (should be 'all sides') and implies parking is allowed everywhere, which isn't usually the intended meaning in this context.
- Option 2: no - "You can park on no side of the street." This negates the possibility of parking, contradicting the likely intent of the sentence.
- Option 3: either - "You can park on either side of the street." This correctly implies that parking is permissible on one side *or* the other of the two available sides. It indicates a choice.
- Option 4: both - "You can park on both side of the street." This is grammatically incorrect (should be 'both sides') and implies parking is possible on both sides simultaneously, which is usually not practical or permitted.
Conclusion
The word 'either' is the most appropriate determiner as it fits the context of choosing between two options (the two sides of the street) and is grammatically correct in this sentence structure.
