    Question

    Choose the correct option to complete the sentence given below. In case no option is correct, choose “None of the above”.
    Time and Tide ______ for no man.

    A.

    waits

    B.

    wait

    C.

    waiting

    D.

    None of the above

    Correct option is B

    The correct option is (b).

    • Explanation: The subject “Time and Tide” contains two nouns joined by and, so it takes a plural verb. Therefore, wait is the correct form.
    • Correct answer word – wait
      Hindi meaning: प्रतीक्षा करना
      Example: Opportunities do not wait for anyone.
    • Grammar Rule involved: Two subjects joined by and usually take a plural verb.
    • Why other options are incorrect:
      • waits is singular, so it does not agree with the compound subject.
      • waiting is a participle and cannot function as the main verb here.

    So the correct answer is (b)
