[amp_mcq option1=”was delivering” option2=”delivered” option3=”was delivered” option4=”is delivered” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is: The milk was delivered at 8 o’clock the following morning.
The verb “deliver” is transitive, which means it takes a direct object. In this case, the direct object is “the milk.” The past tense of “deliver” is “delivered.”
The other options are incorrect because they are not in the past tense. The verb “was delivering” is in the present progressive tense, which is used to describe an action that is happening at the same time as another action or event. The verb “is delivered” is in the present tense, which is used to describe an action that happens regularly or repeatedly.
The sentence “The milk was delivered at 8 o’clock the following morning” describes a single event that happened in the past. The milk was delivered at a specific time, and the action is complete.
