Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank and make a meaningful sentence.

Suman found a hundred-rupee note ............ on the road.

lying

The correct answer is OPTION 3 -"lying"

The verb "lying" is the correct choice because it describes something resting in a horizontal position without external action.

• "Lied" is incorrect because it refers to telling a lie.

• "Laying" is incorrect because "laying" requires an object (e.g., "She is laying the book on the table").

• "Laid" is the past tense of "lay" and also requires an object.

Thus, the correct sentence is "Suman found a hundred-rupee note lying on the road."
