    I wanted to buy some peanuts, but I didn't see anyone ___________ them.

    A.

    sold

    B.

    selling

    C.

    sells

    D.

    to sell

    Correct option is B

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (B) selling.

    Explanation: After verbs like “see” or “didn't see,” the verb used is usually in present participle form (-ing).

    Example: I didn’t see anyone selling them.

    Selling (हिंदी अर्थ): बेचता हुआ

    Meanings of the other options:

    · A - Sold: Past form (बेचा)

    · C - Sells: Present simple (बेचता है)

    · D - To sell: Infinitive (बेचने के लिए)

    Information Booster: Use verb+ing (present participle) after perception verbs like "see", "hear", "watch", especially in negative sentences.
