Select the correct option to fill in the blank.
My foreign guests really _______ the Indian food we served last night.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. enjoyed.
Context: The sentence talks about last night, which means the action happened in the past. So, the correct verb form should be in simple past tense.
Meaning of the words:
enjoyed – liked something (past tense)
was enjoying – past continuous (used with singular subject)
enjoying – incomplete form, needs a helping verb
were enjoyed – passive form (not suitable here)
Correct word: Enjoyed is the correct word because the subject “my foreign guests” is plural and the sentence talks about a completed action in the past.
Reason: In simple past tense, we use the subject + past form of the verb.
Here: “My foreign guests enjoyed the Indian food…” is the correct structure.
Final Sentence: My foreign guests really enjoyed the Indian food we served last night.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
