Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. went.

Context:
The sentence talks about the video becoming viral in the past.

Meaning of the words:

  • going – present participle, indicates ongoing action, not suitable for past event

  • went – past tense, correctly indicates that the video became viral in the past

  • go – base form, incorrect for past action

  • gone – past participle, requires auxiliary verb (has/had), not suitable here

Correct word:
went

Reason:
Since the video already became viral, the simple past tense “went” is correct.

Final Sentence:
The video went viral and the Mumbai police swung into action.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
