Correct option is A
The correct option to fill in the blank is (a)
tear.
Explanation: The phrasal verb
tear up means “to begin to cry; to have eyes fill with tears.” The idiom “couldn’t help but + base verb” takes the
base form (tear), not the past (tore) or a noun. (Hindi:
tear up = आँखों में आँसू आ जाना/रो पड़ना.)
Example: He
teared up when he heard the news.
Why other options are incorrect:
· (b)
tier — noun meaning a
row/level in a structure (Hindi:
पंक्ति/स्तर).
· (c)
tyre — noun; the rubber covering of a wheel (Hindi:
टायर).
· (d)
tire — verb
to become or make weary (Hindi:
थकना/थकाना); doesn’t collocate with up to mean crying.
