Read the paragraph.

My dad must travel a lot for work. Some weeks, he drives more than 100 miles a day! He uses our family car for this travel and pays for all the necessary gas, maintenance, and repairs himself. Luckily, my dad receives a monthly travel allowance from his employer that helps with these costs.

What is the most likely meaning of allowance?

Responses

a bonus one receives from an employer for excellent work

a regular amount of money one is paid to cover expenses



Answer :

Answer : d) a regular amount of money one is paid to cover expenses

Explanation: This is supported by the details that the dad receives a "monthly travel allowance from his employer" to help cover the costs associated with driving long distances for work, such as gas, maintenance, and repairs on the family car.

the other three don’t have the right usage of the word “allowance” b) is talking about a donation which is not what the dad is getting, and c) is wrong because it happens more than once - not just because he’s doing a good job.

A) isn’t a bad option, but the text says “helps with these costs” so it wouldn’t be because it’s receiving a service. so the answer would be d) because it’s the only one that really makes sense.
