Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
| List-I | List-II | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (A) The class teacher has not chosen the team for the quiz yet. | (III) chosen | After the helping verb “has not”, the verb takes its past participle (V3): has + chosen. |
| (B) Ravi did not choose the red kite at the Sankranti fair. | (II) choose | Base form. After “did not”, the verb stays in its base form. “Did” already shows the past. |
| (C) The students are choosing their partners for the science project. | (I) choosing | -ing form. “Are” + -ing shows an action going on now. |
| (D) Last year, Anil chose Sanskrit as his third language. | (IV) chose | Simple past (V2). No helping verb comes before the blank, and “last year” shows a finished past time. |
