Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Launched.
Context: The sentence describes an action completed in the past (“last year”), so the past tense of the verb is required.
Meaning of the words:
Launch – Base form; not suitable for past tense context
Launching – Present participle; does not fit past tense
Launches – Present tense; does not fit past tense
Launched – Past tense; correctly indicates an action completed in the past
Correct word: Launched
Reason: “Launched” properly fits the past tense context of the sentence.
Final Sentence: The organization launched a major campaign to promote sustainable living last year.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
