I just wanted to give you a h____ up that two people can't make it on Thursday.

• A. Heads
• B. Hand
• C. Hook
• D. Hint

Answer: (A)

This item tests using the right informal expression to warn someone in advance. “Heads up” means a warning or advance notice about something that might affect plans. In the sentence, you want to tell the listener ahead of time that two people won’t be able to attend on Thursday, so saying “I just wanted to give you a heads up that two people can’t make it on Thursday” fits naturally and clearly. The other options don’t convey that sense of advance notice. A “hand up” isn’t a fixed expression, “hook up” means to connect or arrange to meet, and a “hint” is a suggestion or clue, not a notification about attendance.
