Housing  agencies  pay  the  utility  ,  generally  because    in  developments  do  not  have  individual  meters.  Some  buildings  have  individual  meters,  and  each  tenant  pay  its  own  to  the  utility  ,  so  agencies  will  deduct  this  from  the  family’s  rent.

Correct answer: bills

Explanation: The word 'bills' is a noun that refers to the statements of charges for utilities. It fits grammatically as it is the object of the verb 'pay' and contextually aligns with the discussion of utility payments.

Meaning: 'Bills' are documents that detail the amount owed for services, in this case, utilities.

Wrong options:

  • vouchers: 'Vouchers' are documents that can be used to claim a discount or payment, but they do not fit as they do not represent the charges themselves.
  • units: 'Units' refer to individual apartments or spaces, which does not fit as it does not represent what is being paid.
  • cells: 'Cells' are typically small rooms or compartments, which is irrelevant in the context of utility payments.
  • company: 'Company' refers to a business entity, which does not fit as it does not represent the charges being paid.
  • outsource: 'Outsource' is a verb meaning to obtain goods or services from an outside supplier, which does not fit grammatically or contextually.
Correct answer: units

Explanation: The term 'units' refers to individual living spaces within a development. It fits grammatically as it serves as the subject of the clause and contextually explains why agencies pay the utility bills.

Meaning: 'Units' are individual apartments or living spaces within a building.

Wrong options:

  • vouchers: 'Vouchers' do not fit contextually as they do not refer to living spaces.
  • bills: 'Bills' are related to payments and do not refer to the physical spaces being discussed.
  • cells: 'Cells' are not relevant in this context as they do not refer to living spaces.
  • company: 'Company' does not fit as it refers to a business entity, not a type of living space.
  • outsource: 'Outsource' is a verb and does not fit as it does not refer to a physical space.
Correct answer: company

Explanation: The word 'company' is a noun that refers to the business providing utility services. It fits grammatically as it is the object of the preposition 'to' and contextually aligns with the discussion of utility payments made by tenants.

Meaning: 'Company' refers to a business entity that provides services, in this case, utilities.

Wrong options:

  • vouchers: 'Vouchers' do not fit as they refer to documents for discounts, not the entity providing services.
  • units: 'Units' refer to living spaces and do not fit as they do not represent the service provider.
  • cells: 'Cells' are irrelevant in this context as they do not refer to a service provider.
  • bills: 'Bills' refer to the charges and do not fit as they do not represent the entity providing the service.
  • outsource: 'Outsource' is a verb and does not fit as it does not refer to a business entity.
