After the crash, he received a ().

• A. Ticket
• B. Fine
• C. Citation
• D. Warning

Answer: (A)

When a traffic incident happens, the everyday way to describe what a driver gets from the police is a ticket. A ticket is the notice of a traffic violation that you receive, and it often comes with the possibility of paying a fine, but the thing you’re given at the scene is the ticket itself. A warning would imply no formal penalty is issued, and a fine is the amount due, not the document. A citation is a more formal term for the same idea as a ticket, but in common speech and many tests, ticket is the natural, familiar choice.
