Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:

"The friends decided to play cards to ____ time while waiting for the cab."

Last updated Sep 6, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — kill
Explanation
The idiom "kill time" means to do something repetitive or casual to pass the time while waiting for an event or someone to arrive.

To kill time: The friends played cards to pass the time while waiting.

Why the others don't fit:

Ignore time isn't a natural English idiom in this context.

Move time is grammatically incorrect for passing duration.

Ease time isn't a standard collocation (you can "ease tension" or "ease pain," but not "ease time").
