had asked
asking
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. asked
Marry asked Mohan a question yesterday. This is because the sentence is in the simple past tense, and the verb “ask” takes the simple past form “asked” when it is used in the active voice.
The other options are incorrect because they do not agree with the tense of the sentence.
- Option A, “was asked,” is in the passive voice. The passive voice is used when the focus of the sentence is on the action, rather than the person who is doing the action. In this case, the focus of the sentence is on the question that Marry asked, not on the fact that Mohan was asked a question.
- Option C, “had asked,” is in the past perfect tense. The past perfect tense is used to talk about an action that happened before another action in the past. In this case, there is no other action in the past that the question that Marry asked could have happened before.
- Option D, “asking,” is in the present participle form. The present participle form is used to form the present progressive tense and the past progressive tense. In this case, the sentence is not in either of those tenses.
