The roof of a house is blown off in the storm.

Correct Answer:

The roof of the house was blown off in the storm.

Explanation:

The correct sentence is: OPTION 1 "The roof of the house was blown off in the storm."

  1. Correct Use of Preposition:

    • The preposition "of" is correctly used to indicate the relationship between the roof and the house. The roof belongs to the house.
  2. Correct Verb Form:

    • The past tense "was blown off" is the correct form to describe the action of the roof being removed during the storm.
  3. Consistent Article Use:

    • The use of "the" before "house" is consistent, indicating a specific house.

In contrast, the other options have grammatical errors or inconsistencies, such as using "with" instead of "of," incorrect article usage, or misspelling the word "off."
