The postman travelled by the cycle, often wading through swamps or passed through jungles in order to reach the villages
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. swamps or passed through jungles.
- The usage of 'passed' is incorrect as it indicates the past tense, whereas the former part of the sentence uses present tense 'wading'. Since, the overall sense is indicated in the present tense the correct form should also be in the same tense, that is 'passing through jungles'.
