Question

Select the option that can substitute/replace the bracketed word correctly and complete the sentence.
He (seek) for the wallet in his pocket.

A.

Sought

B.

Had seeking

C.

Are seeking

D.

Seeking

Correct option is A

The correct substitution for the bracketed word is ‘sought’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
· ‘Sought’ is the past tense of ‘seek,’ meaning to search for something (खोजना). It fits well because the sentence refers to a past action.
Correct sentence: He sought for the wallet in his pocket.
Meanings of other options and why they are incorrect:
· Had seeking: Grammatically incorrect as it mixes tenses improperly.
· Are seeking: Present tense and does not fit the past context.
· Seeking: Present participle, does not work as the main verb here.
