Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
The explosion ______ a huge crater.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. left.
The correct word is left because the sentence refers to a past event, as indicated by the explosion already happening.
"Left" is the past tense of "leave," which matches the context.
The other options—"leave" (present tense), "will leaves" (grammatically incorrect), and "have left" (present perfect, not suitable here)—do not fit the sentence's past context.
