Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence and rectify it. If no correction is needed, select ‘No correction required’.
The road was repairing by the workers.

Correct option is B

✔️ The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) repaired.
Correct sentence: “The road was repaired by the workers.”
Explanation: The sentence is in passive voice, so we need “was + V3” (past participle). The correct past participle of “repair” is “repaired.”
Grammatical rule used: Passive voice structure in simple past = was/were + past participle (V3)
✦ Hindi explanation: Passive voice में भूतकाल के लिए "was/were + V3" का प्रयोग होता है।
Meanings of all options:
· (a) repairs – present simple (plural subject) ❌
· (b) repaired – past participle ✅
· (c) been repaired – requires “has/have” or “had” before it ❌
· (d) No correction required – incorrect; “repairing” is wrong in passive ❌
