The correct answer is: D. No improvement
The sentence “The engagement ceremony took place in this very hotel last Sunday” is grammatically correct and uses the correct verb tense. The verb “take place” is used to describe the occurrence of an event, and the simple past tense is used to describe events that happened in the past. In this case,
the engagement ceremony happened last Sunday, so the simple past tense is the correct verb tense to use.The other options are all incorrect. Option A, “was took place,” is incorrect because the verb “take” does not take the past tense “took” when it is used in the passive voice. Option B, “did take place,” is incorrect because the verb “take” does not need the auxiliary verb “do” when it is used in the simple past tense. Option C, “was taken place,” is incorrect because the verb “take” does not take the passive voice when it is used in the simple past tense.
