He went to his friend’s house in the evening as was his wont. A. as usual B. as he wanted C. as his want was D. as he wanted that day

as usual
as he wanted
as his want was
as he wanted that day

The correct answer is A. as usual.

The word “wont” means “customary practice or habit.” In this sentence, it is used to describe the man’s regular habit of going to his friend’s house in the evening.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the word “wont.” Option B, “as he wanted,” could be correct if the sentence were about the man’s desires or wishes, but it is not. Option C, “as his want was,” is grammatically incorrect. Option D, “as he wanted that day,” is also incorrect because it implies that the man’s decision to go to

his friend’s house was a spontaneous one, when in fact it was a regular habit.
