    As she (attend) the phone
    Solution
    The simple past tense, sometimes called the preterite, is used to talk about a completed action in a time before now. The sentence requires the use of simple past tense in order to add meaning to it. The given sentence talks about a completed action in a time before now. Thus option A is correct as it refers to a definite point in time during which she attended her phone and her face beamed with joy and she looked thrilled. Option B can be ruled out as it is used for an action that has been completed for some time in the past. Option C can be ruled out as it shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past. Option D is also incorrect as it refers to some continuing action that was happening at some point in the past.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb and complete the following passage.[/passage-header]
    One day, after his meal, Gandhiji set out to make a bookshelf. 
    He ____1____ for seven hours and 
    ____2____ the shelf reaching right up to the ceiling.

    His companions ___6___  his example and, in a short time,
    a pile of stones for paving the path ____7__ in the yard.
    Thus he ___8___ others work.

    ...view full instructions

    He __1__ for seven hours and 
    Solution
    The given clause indicates a specific duration of time for the work to be completed. It describes an event occurring in the past, hence option A, which is in the present tense, is incorrect. Option C, which is in past continuous tense, indicates an ongoing action in the past. However, the act has been completed in the past, hence option C is incorrect. Option D is in the past perfect continuous tense, which indicates that an action had been completed in the past before another action began. However, here only one action is mentioned. Hence, Option D is incorrect too, leaving us with Option B as the correct option.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    It _____ all year round here.
    Solution
    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. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    He speaks as one who _____.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because "Knows" is the singular, present-tense form of the verb, as in this case , only 'he' is being talked about.
    Option A is incorrect because "Know" is the plural form of the verb. Plural forms are also used with declarative statements involving yourself as the subject, and imperative commands which is incorrect here.
    Option C is incorrect because it is the past tense whereas the statement is in present tense.
    Option D is incorrect because 'knowing' means having knowledge or information or is clever which is incorrect here.


  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    She replied that she _____  better.
    Solution
    The simple past tense, sometimes called the preterite, is used to talk about a completed action in a time before now. The given sentence requires the use of a simple past which can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer in use. Since the verb replied is in past tense the verb should also be in simple past tense. Hence, Option B is correct. The sentence refers to a specific action in the past. Thus Option A can be ruled out as it refers to a present situation. Similarly, option C is incorrect as it is used to express actions taking place in the future. Option D is also incorrect as it shows some connection with the present.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    The doctor ______ to see you yesterday.
    Solution
    The action happened in the past as indicated by the adverb 'yesterday.' So, the answer will be in the simple past tense i.e 'came'. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    Do you ____ playing football?
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because we use 'like' to talk about things or people which we enjoy or feel positive about or in a way to say 'similar to'. Here it is correct.
    Option C is incorrect because 'liking' is always followed by 'towards'. It would be correct if ''do you have a liking towards football" was the statement.
    Option A and D are incorrect because liked is the past tense whereas the statement is made in the present.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb.
    He ______ while hiding the jewels.
    Solution
    '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'. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb and complete the following passage.[/passage-header]
    One day, after his meal, Gandhiji set out to make a bookshelf. 
    He ____1____ for seven hours and 
    ____2____ the shelf reaching right up to the ceiling.

    ____4____ enough money to meet the cost.
    He ___5___ to collect small stones on his way back to the ashram from his daily walks.
    His companions ___6___  his example and, in a short time,
    a pile of stones for paving the path ____7__ in the yard.
    Thus he ___8___ others work.

    ...view full instructions

    A path leading to the ashram ___3___ metalling but he
    Solution
    Here, 'needed' in simple past tense is correct because it is used to imply something because it is essential. Here, the path 'needed' metalling. 
    'Needs' in present simple tense is used to indicate a future event on a future designated date as a part of a plan. Example: He needs a pen to write in the exam.
    'Will need' in future simple tense is used to indicate an action that has not taken place as yet. Example: He will need a notebook tomorrow. 
    'Had needed' in past perfect tense is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place.

    Solution
    The passage is in the past tense. Option A, "know" is in the present tense, therefore, it is incorrect. Option B is in present continuous tense, hence it is also incorrect. Option D is in the passive form of the present tense, hence it is incorrect too. Therefore, Option C, which is in the past tense, is correct.
