Some plants need full sunlight, while others _____ partial exposure to the sun.

  • A.require
  • B.choose
  • C.obtain
  • D.prefer

Answer: A

Correct answer: require

While others sets up a parallel, so the verb in the second clause should match need in the first, with only the amount of sunlight changing. Require is that match.

Prefer and choose soften a necessity into a liking, which breaks the parallel and also credits plants with a choice; obtain describes what a plant gets rather than what it needs, so the contrast between full and partial sunlight is lost.
