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)
