Sushant Joshi answered |
The correct answer is option 'b) Felt'.
Explanation:
To determine the appropriate form of the verb, we need to consider the tense and subject of the sentence.
In this case, the subject is 'she', which is a third person singular pronoun. When using the simple past tense with a third person singular subject, we add '-ed' to the base form of the verb.
The base form of the verb 'feel' is 'feel'. When we add '-ed' to the base form, we get 'felt'.
Therefore, the correct form of the verb in this sentence is 'felt'.

Mathematics is my favorite subject because it involves problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which I enjoy. Here's why this answer is correct:

- Personal Preference: The sentence implies a personal preference for Mathematics, which is why the verb "is" is the most suitable choice.

Niharika Choudhury answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'D': Are.
The verb 'are' is the correct form of the verb 'to be' to use in this sentence. The verb 'to be' is used to indicate the existence or presence of something.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this sentence, the subject is 'keys' which is plural. Plural subjects require a plural verb form. In this case, the plural verb form of 'to be' is 'are'.
Example:
- Where are my keys?
In this sentence, 'are' is used to indicate the existence or location of the keys.
Other Options:
- Option 'A': Was - This is the past tense form of 'to be' and would be incorrect in this sentence.
- Option 'B': Is - This is the singular form of 'to be' and would be incorrect because the subject 'keys' is plural.
- Option 'C': Do - This is not the correct verb to use in this sentence. 'Do' is used to form questions and negatives in present simple tense, but it does not indicate existence or location.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D': Are.
The correct answer is option 'D': Are.
The verb 'are' is the correct form of the verb 'to be' to use in this sentence. The verb 'to be' is used to indicate the existence or presence of something.

Amit Kumar answered |
Here, 'rains' in simple present tense is correct and 'rain' is incorrect because in general, the word "rains" refers to multiple showers, while "rain" can be one or more showers. Here, we are talking about 'rains all year round'.
'Is raining' in present continuous tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action that is happening as we speak. Example: It is raining heavily here.
'Was raining' in past continuous tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate an incomplete action of the past. Example: It was raining yesterday night.

Sreemoyee Das answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is in the present tense, but it can also be interpreted in the past tense. Therefore, two correct options are possible for filling the blank.
Option A: Is
This option indicates that the subject is currently feeling ashamed of himself. The present tense form of the verb 'be' is 'is', which agrees with the third-person singular subject 'He'. Hence, this option is correct.
Option B: Was
This option suggests that the subject has already felt ashamed of himself in the past. The past tense form of the verb 'be' is 'was', which agrees with the third-person singular subject 'He'. Hence, this option is also correct.
Option C: Has
This option uses the present perfect tense, which indicates that the subject has experienced shame at some point in the past and that the feeling may still be present. However, the sentence does not provide any context for using the present perfect tense. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Option D: Had
This option uses the past perfect tense, which indicates that the subject had experienced shame before something else happened in the past. However, the sentence does not provide any context for using the past perfect tense. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
Conclusion:
The correct options for filling the blank in the given sentence are 'A' and 'B' because the sentence can be interpreted in both the present and past tenses.

Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
He ______ while hiding the jewels.- a)Caught
- b)Was caught
- c)Had caught
- d)Is caught
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
He ______ while hiding the jewels.
He ______ while hiding the jewels.
a)
Caught
b)
Was caught
c)
Had caught
d)
Is caught
|
|
Amit Kumar answered |
'He' was the receiver of the action and not the doer, so the verb 'caught' has to be in the passive form. If a sentence has the word 'while', the shorter action is written in the simple past tense and the longer action, during which the other action occurred, is written in the past continuous tense. So, the correct answer will be in the simple past tense passive form, i.e 'was caught'.

Explanation:
The given sentence is a conditional sentence which talks about a hypothetical situation. It consists of two parts- the condition and the result. The condition is expressed using the present simple tense and the result is expressed using the future simple tense.
The correct form of the verb to be used in the result part of the sentence is 'will get' as it indicates a future possibility. Hence, option 'B' is the correct answer.
- Conditional sentence: If you study hard, you will get good grades in exams.
- Condition: If you study hard (present simple tense)
- Result: you will get good grades in exams (future simple tense)
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B'- Will get.

Wait until I tell this story. It _____ your hair stand on end.
a)

b)

c)

d)

Amit Kumar answered |
The sentence talks about result of telling the story. The story itself will be told in the future as indicated by the word “ wait ” within the sentence. hence, we are talking about an event that will happen or will be completed as a result of another event in the future. So, here we will have to use the future tense.
Option A: it is incorrect. ‘ is making ’ represents that the result of the story is taking place in the present but since we already know that the result of the story happens in the future, also the story itself is in the future; hence, this option is inconsistent and incorrect.
Option B: it is correct. ‘ will make ’ means that the result of the story will happen afterwards. It is grammatically consistent and makes a meaningful sentence. Hence, it is the correct option.
Option C: it is incorrect. ‘ made ’ represents the past tense. We already know that the events will take place in the future. Hence, this option is inconsistent and is incorrect.
Option D: it is incorrect. ‘ Are making ’ similar to option A represents the event that is going on in the present also the auxiliary verb within the sentence represents plural subjects. it is grammatically inconsistent and does not make a meaningful sentence. Hence, it is incorrect.

Pranab Choudhury answered |
Answer:
Explanation:
The missing word in the given sentence is "is".
Reasoning:
To determine the missing word, we need to analyze the sentence structure and the tense used in the sentence.
The sentence is in the present tense, as indicated by the use of the verb "is" in the correct answer option 'A'.
Analysis:
Let's analyze the sentence structure and the possible options:
- Option A: "Pollution is not" - This option is grammatically correct and maintains the present tense of the sentence. It conveys the meaning that pollution is not a new problem.
- Option B: "Pollution will not" - This option changes the tense of the sentence to future tense. It implies that pollution will not be a new problem in the future, but it does not convey the same meaning as the original sentence.
- Option C: "Pollution had not" - This option changes the tense of the sentence to past perfect tense. It implies that pollution had not been a new problem at some point in the past, but it does not convey the same meaning as the original sentence.
- Option D: "Pollution was not" - This option changes the tense of the sentence to past tense. It implies that pollution was not a new problem at some point in the past, but it does not convey the same meaning as the original sentence.
Conclusion:

Here, 'will have met' in Future Perfect Tense is correct because it is used to indicate an action that will be complete before another event takes place. Here, 'by this time tomorrow...' indicates an action that will be complete before another event takes place.
'Met' in simple past is incorrect because it indicates an action that has already been completed.
'Had met' in past perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place.
'Have met' in present perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up untill now.
'Met' in simple past is incorrect because it indicates an action that has already been completed.

d)
Has been, for
|
Debanshi Chauhan answered |
Understanding the Correct Answer
The correct answer to the sentence "Professor Ahmed ___________ teaching us _________ August, 2012." is option 'C': "Has been, since."
Explanation of the Tenses
- Present Perfect Continuous Tense:
"Has been teaching" indicates an action that started in the past and is still continuing in the present. This tense is used to show that the action is ongoing.
- Use of "Since":
The word "since" is used to specify the starting point of an action. In this case, it indicates that Professor Ahmed began teaching in August 2012 and continues to do so.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
- Option A: Was, for
"Was teaching" suggests that the teaching was happening in the past but does not imply that it is still ongoing. "For" is also incorrect here because it needs a duration, not a specific point in time.
- Option B: Had been, since
"Had been teaching" indicates that the action was ongoing before another past action. This is not suitable because the context suggests the teaching is still happening.
- Option D: Has been, for
While "has been teaching" is correct, "for" is incorrect in this context because it requires a duration (e.g., "for three years") rather than a specific start point.
Conclusion
In summary, option 'C' is the best choice because it accurately conveys that Professor Ahmed started teaching in August 2012 and is still teaching now, using the correct tense and time expression.

Sagarika Kulkarni answered |
Answer:
The correct answer is option 'c', "is".
Explanation:
In this sentence, we are referring to either "the other boys" or "Henry" as the subject of the sentence. Since we are using the word "or" to join the two subjects, we need to use the verb form that agrees with the subject closest to it.
In this case, the subject closest to the verb is "Henry". Therefore, we need to use the singular verb form "is" to agree with the singular subject "Henry". The correct sentence would be:
"The other boys or Henry is to blame."
Here, the verb "is" agrees with the singular subject "Henry".
The other options, "are", "were", and "will", do not agree with the singular subject "Henry" and would be incorrect in this sentence.
Summary:
The correct answer is option 'c', "is". We use the singular verb form "is" to agree with the singular subject "Henry" in the sentence.
The correct answer is option 'c', "is".

Pranav Saini answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'C' - Was.
In this sentence, we are talking about Ram along with his friends. When we use the phrase "Ram along with his friends", we consider it as a single entity or a group. When we talk about a group of people, we use the singular verb form.
Subject-verb agreement:
- When the subject is singular, we use the singular verb form.
- When the subject is plural, we use the plural verb form.
In this sentence, the subject is "Ram along with his friends", which is considered as a single entity or a group. Therefore, we need to use the singular verb form.
Simple past tense:
- The verb "to be" in the simple past tense is "was" for singular subjects and "were" for plural subjects.
Since the subject "Ram along with his friends" is considered as a single entity or a group, we need to use the singular form of the verb "to be" in the simple past tense, which is "was".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Ram along with his friends was going to the cinema.
The correct answer is option 'C' - Was.
In this sentence, we are talking about Ram along with his friends. When we use the phrase "Ram along with his friends", we consider it as a single entity or a group. When we talk about a group of people, we use the singular verb form.

- When the subject is plural, we use the plural verb form.
In this sentence, the subject is "Ram along with his friends", which is considered as a single entity or a group. Therefore, we need to use the singular verb form.
Simple past tense:
- The verb "to be" in the simple past tense is "was" for singular subjects and "were" for plural subjects.
Since the subject "Ram along with his friends" is considered as a single entity or a group, we need to use the singular form of the verb "to be" in the simple past tense, which is "was".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Ram along with his friends was going to the cinema.

Tanishq Basu answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'b', "Is".
Subject-Verb Agreement:
When using the present tense, it is important to ensure that the subject and verb agree in number. In this sentence, the subject is "Everyone", which is a singular pronoun. Therefore, the verb that follows should also be singular.
Usage of "Is":
The singular form of the verb "to be" in the present tense is "is". So, when we use "is" in the sentence, it becomes "Everyone is in the room now." This sentence is grammatically correct because the subject "Everyone" agrees with the singular verb "is".
Other Options:
- Option 'a', "Are", is incorrect because it is the plural form of the verb "to be" and does not agree with the singular subject "Everyone".
- Option 'c', "Were", is incorrect because it is the past tense form of the verb "to be" and does not match the present tense context of the sentence.
- Option 'd', "Werent", is incorrect because it is the contraction of "were not" and does not match the present tense context of the sentence.
The correct answer is option 'b', "Is".

Understanding Subject-Verb Agreement
In this sentence, "I _______ to the teacher," the blank requires the correct form of the verb "speak." The subject of the sentence is "I," which is the first person singular pronoun.
Why Option 'B' is Correct
- Verb Form: The correct form of the verb for "I" is "speak." This is the base form of the verb used with the first person.
- Agreement with the Subject: In English grammar, the verb must agree with its subject. Since "I" is singular and first person, the verb must also be in its base form.
- Other Options Explained:
- Option 'A' (Speaks): This form is incorrect because "speaks" is the third person singular form, used with subjects like "he," "she," or "it."
- Option 'C' (Speaking): This is the present participle form and does not fit grammatically in this context.
- Option 'D' (None of the above): Since "speak" is indeed a valid choice, this option is incorrect.
Conclusion
Thus, when completing the sentence, "I speak to the teacher," option 'B' is the only grammatically correct choice.

Simple Past Tense:
The simple past tense is used to describe an action that happened in the past and is now completed. It is formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb.
Past Perfect Tense:
The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle form of the verb.
Explanation of the Sentence:
In the given sentence, the action of seeing the clock stopping happened before another action in the past. Therefore, we need to use the past perfect tense to show this relationship.
Identifying the Clues:
The clue in the sentence is the word "saw", which indicates a past action. Additionally, the word "that" suggests that the action of seeing the clock stopping happened before the action mentioned after "that".
Forming the Sentence:
To form the past perfect tense, we use the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle form of the verb "stop". Therefore, the correct sentence is:
"He saw that the clock had stopped."
Option Analysis:
- Option 'a' - "Stops" is incorrect because it uses the present tense form of the verb, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence.
- Option 'b' - "Had stopped" is correct because it uses the past perfect tense to show the action of stopping happening before the action of seeing.
- Option 'c' - "Has stopped" is incorrect because it uses the present perfect tense, which does not match the past tense context of the sentence.
- Option 'd' - "Stopped" is incorrect because it uses the simple past tense, which does not show the relationship between the two past actions.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'b' - "Had stopped".
The correct answer is option 'b' - "Had stopped".

Vaishnavi Sharma answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'a) Is'.
The verb that should be used to complete the sentence is 'is'.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In English grammar, subject-verb agreement refers to the agreement in number between the subject and the verb of a sentence. In this case, the subject is 'All the furniture in this office' and the verb should agree with it in number.
Singular Subject:
The subject 'All the furniture in this office' is singular because it refers to a single entity, even though it consists of multiple items of furniture.
Third Person Singular Verb:
When the subject is singular, the verb used should be in the third person singular form. In this case, the third person singular form of the verb 'to be' (is) should be used.
Example:
To understand this better, let's look at an example:
- All the furniture in this office is of poor quality.
(Here, the singular subject 'All the furniture in this office' agrees with the third person singular verb 'is'.)
If we were to use the plural form of the verb 'are', it would be grammatically incorrect because it would not agree in number with the singular subject.
The correct answer is option 'a) Is'.
The verb that should be used to complete the sentence is 'is'.

When 'none' is followed by 'of', look at the noun in the of-phrase (object of the preposition). If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.
According to the stated rule, option B is the correct answer because the object of the preposition, 'cats', is plural and the plural verb 'are' is to be used for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'was', 'has been' and 'is' are singular verbs. Since the object of the preposition is plural, none of these verbs can be used with it.

Tanishq Chavan answered |
Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "If you go to school late, the teacher________(punish) you," we are dealing with a conditional statement. This type of statement expresses a condition and its result.
Identifying the Condition
- The phrase "If you go to school late" sets up a condition.
- This condition is in the present simple tense, indicating a possible future event.
Choosing the Correct Form of the Verb
- The verb in brackets is "punish."
- In English, when we talk about a future result based on a present condition, we use "will" with the base form of the verb.
Analyzing the Options
- a) Will punish – This is the correct choice. It indicates that if the condition is met (going to school late), the teacher will take action in the future (punish).
- b) Would punish – This option is usually used in hypothetical or unlikely scenarios. It doesn't fit the present condition here.
- c) Punished – This is the past tense and does not correspond to the future outcome we are predicting.
- d) Will be punished – This passive form changes the subject. The sentence structure requires an active form.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A': "Will punish." It accurately reflects the future consequence of the present condition, making the sentence complete and grammatically correct.

In the given sentence, Balu says he is going to watch the movie tomorrow. So, we are talking about a future event. Anil is sure/determined that Balu "will love" the movie. The correct answer is, therefore, A) Will love.
Going to love is not correct grammatically since it needs to be preceded by 'are'.
Shall is only used for first-person pronouns (I, we) so it is incorrect to use it here with 'you'.

Aman Desai answered |
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
- The correct answer is option 'A' - "goes".
- In this sentence, the subject "She" is singular, so the verb should also be singular to maintain subject-verb agreement.
- The singular form of the verb "go" in the present tense is "goes".
Identifying the Correct Verb:
- When forming a sentence in English, it is crucial to match the subject with the appropriate verb form.
- In this case, "She" is the subject, and the correct verb form to use with a singular third-person subject is "goes".
Explanation of Other Options:
- Option 'B' - "Go" is incorrect because it does not match the singular subject "She".
- Option 'C' - "Were going" is incorrect as it is the past continuous tense and does not match the present simple tense used in the sentence.
- Option 'D' - "To go" is incorrect as it is an infinitive form and does not fit grammatically in this sentence.
Conclusion:
- Therefore, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank in the sentence "She ________ shopping every weekend" is "goes". This maintains subject-verb agreement and ensures the sentence is grammatically correct.

Amit Kumar answered |
Present perfect tense describes an action that occurred in the indefinite past or began in the past and continued to the present time. This tense is formed by using “has/have been” and the past participle of the verb. For example - I have lived here for years or I have lived here since 1995.
Past tense expresses an action or situation that was started and finished in the past. Most past tense verbs end in “-ed”. The irregular verbs have special past tense forms that must be memorized, like "left" is the past form of leave. For example – Last night, I finished my entire holidays' homework.
Either of the two forms can be used in the given sentence. Therefore Options B and C are correct.
Options A: honour is the simple present form of the verb, the given sentence is in the passive voice which always makes use of the past participle of the main verb. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Similarly for option D, the main verb is in the continuous form which is not acceptable for passive voice sentences. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Sameer Sengupta answered |
Explanation:
Identifying the tense:
- In this sentence, we are talking about an action that happened before another past action.
- The main verb in the sentence is "asked", which is in the past simple.
- The missing part of the sentence should be in the past perfect tense to show that the action of buying the mobile phone occurred before the asking.
Understanding the correct option:
- Option (D) "She had bought" is in the past perfect tense, which is used to show an action that happened before another action in the past.
- This option correctly conveys that the buying of the mobile phone occurred before the asking of the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (D) "She had bought".

Tanishq Basu answered |
Explanation:
Woollen clothes are worn in winter.
- The verb 'wear' is used in the present tense to indicate an action that is happening currently or regularly.
- In this sentence, the subject 'woollen clothes' is plural, so we use the plural form of the verb 'are'.
- 'Worn' is the past participle form of the verb 'wear' and is used here to show that the action is being done to the subject (woollen clothes) and not by the subject itself.
- The auxiliary verb 'are' is used to indicate the present tense and the passive voice.
- The sentence is in the present tense because it is a general statement about a fact that is true in all winters.
Example:
- Woollen clothes are worn to keep warm in winter.
- Woollen clothes are worn by many people in cold climates.
So, the correct answer is option 'A' - Are worn.

Stoneridge Institute answered |
The most appropriate verb form to fill in the blank is option C: "Will have closed." Here's why:
1. Future time frame: The sentence states "By this month next year," which indicates a future time frame. We need a verb form that expresses an action completed in the future.
2. Completion of an action: The word "closed" indicates the completion of an action (the closing of the shop).
3. Future perfect tense: The future perfect tense is used to describe an action that will be completed before a specific time in the future. In this case, the action of closing the shop will be completed by the month next year.
4. Verb form: The verb form "will have closed" is the future perfect tense of the verb "to close." It indicates that the shop will be closed at the specified time in the future.
In summary, option C: "Will have closed" is the most appropriate verb form to fill in the blank because it accurately conveys the completion of the action of closing the shop by the month next year.

The subject is “What we need most” (singular idea), so it takes the singular verb “is.”

When a subject is singular, the adjoining verb should be singular and when the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural. This agreement between the subject and the verb is called the subject-verb agreement. In the given sentence, "The jacket" is the subject, it's singular, hence a singular verb should be used. The verbs that end with an s are singular, whereas plural verbs do not end with s. For example, 'The jackets do not seem very long', here 'the jackets' is plural and 'seem' is a plural verb, it does not end with an s. "The jacket" is singular, hence 'seems' is the correct answer, 'seems' is a singular verb, hence option C is correct, B is incorrect. 'Is seeming' is incorrect because 'seeming' is either a gerund or a participle in the present tense, it's a verb-form and not a verb, hence option A is incorrect. 'Have seemed' is in the past tense, it's a plural verb, 'have' is used when the subject is plural, but here "the jacket" is singular, hence it won't be used and option D is incorrect.

The subject of the sentence is 'all of them' which is plural and so the verb will be plural i.e 'are'; 'has' and 'have' are grammatically incorrect here.

In Subject-Verb Agreement, a verb must agree with its subject in number and in person.
"The Three Musketeers" is the subject which is in the singular form of a proper noun. Therefore, it takes a singular verb but of past form as the sentence is in passive voice.
Option D is the correct answer because it contains a past form of a singular verb. On the other hand, options A, B, and C do not have past forms of singular verbs.

'Anyone, Somebody, and Nobody' are considered singular but 'Many' is plural. The helping verb is 'were' which is plural in number. Therefore, the correct option to fill in the blank (complying with the number of the verb) is C: Many.
