He never recollected his grand father to say that his job was odd. A. say B. to have said C. saying D. while saying

[amp_mcq option1=”say” option2=”to have said” option3=”saying” option4=”while saying” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is (A).

The sentence is in the negative, so we need to use the past participle form of the verb “say”. The past participle form of “say” is “said”.

The other options are incorrect because they are not in the past participle form.

(B) “to have said” is the infinitive form of the verb “say”.

(C) “saying” is the present participle form of the verb “say”.

(D) “while saying” is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb “recollected”.

Here is a rewritten version of the sentence using the correct verb form:

He never recollected his grandfather saying that his job was odd.
