Question:

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:-

The pages of the book _____________ yellow.

Options:

is seeming

seem

is seemed

seems

Correct Answer:

seem

Explanation:

The most appropriate option to fill in the blanks is seem.

The word "seem" is a verb that means to give the impression of being something. In the context of the sentence, "The pages of the book seem yellow", the pages of the book give the impression of being yellow. The other options are not as appropriate.

  • Is seeming is not a grammatically correct sentence.
  • Is seemed is the past tense of the verb "seem". This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, as the pages of the book are not currently yellow, but they give the impression of being yellow.
  • Seems is the present tense of the verb "seem". This is the most appropriate word to use in the sentence, as it accurately reflects the fact that the pages of the book give the impression of being yellow.
