Q17
EnglishVerbs, Tenses & Agreement
Fill in the blank with the correct word: You had better — permission.
  1. a.Want
  2. b.Ask
  3. c.Call
  4. d.Order

Answer: (B) Ask

'Had better' is a modal construction meaning it is advisable to do something. The structure 'had better + base verb' requires a bare infinitive. 'Ask permission' is the natural collocation, meaning to request permission. 'Order permission' is a contradiction in terms.
