Select the most appropriate tense form to fill in the blank.
Tania ________ to the canteen.

Correct option is C

The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) was going.
In this sentence, “Tania” is a singular subject, and the sentence requires the past continuous tense to indicate that she was in the process of going to the canteen at a certain point in the past.
Grammatical Rule Used:
The past continuous tense is used to describe actions that were ongoing at a specific time in the past. The structure for this tense is subject + was/were + verb(ing). Since the subject “Tania” is singular, “was” is used.
Applied Example:
· Correct Sentence: Tania was going to the canteen.
Explanation of Other Options:
· (a) were gone: Incorrect, as “were gone” is past perfect and does not fit the context.
· (b) were going: Incorrect, as “were” is used with plural subjects.
· (d) had going: Incorrect, as “had going” does not follow any correct tense structure.
