Select the option that can substitute the bracketed word segment correctly and complete the following sentence meaningfully.

Lots of kids (was visualised) crossing the road when the bus arrived.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e were seen.

  • The phrase "was visualized" suggests that someone imagined or pictured lots of kids crossing the road.
  • However, in the context of the sentence, it seems that the speaker is describing an actual event, not something imagined.
  • Therefore, the more appropriate phrase would be "were seen," indicating that many kids were observed or witnessed crossing the road when the bus arrived.
