Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank and make a meaningful sentence.
Suman found a hundred-rupee note ............ on the road.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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."
