A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate option. Choose the correct alternative.
A pair of Eurasian jays ______________ over the forest yesterday.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. flew.
- The sentence mentions "yesterday" which signifies an action that has already been done a day before.
- Therefore, the most appropriate form of the verb "fly" will be Option 2 i.e. flew.
- The other options are:-
- "did flew" which is wrong as did is always followed by the present form of the verb.
- "fly" is present tense which isn't apt here.
- "flown" is the past participle tense of "fly" but the sentence requires simple past tense of the verb.
