Question

Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaninfully. Select the option ‘no correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.
I received word that you (were attempting) to contact me.

A.

No correction required

B.

were strike

C.

has attempting

D.

was attempting

Correct option is A


The correct choice is (a) No correction required.
· Explanation: “Were attempting” is correct because it represents an action ongoing in the past. The subject “you” goes with “were” in past continuous tense.
· Grammatical rule used:
· Past Continuous Tense: Subject + was/were + verb + ing.
· Explanation in Hindi:
· “Were attempting” past continuous tense का सही प्रयोग है – यह बताता है कि कोई कार्य उस समय चल रहा था।
· Meanings of other options:
· (b) were strike – grammatically incorrect; “strike” is a base form, not used with “were” directly.
· Hindi: गलत क्रिया रूप।
· (c) has attempting – incorrect auxiliary “has” with verb+ing.
· Hindi: गलत सहायक क्रिया का प्रयोग।
· (d) was attempting – wrong subject-verb agreement (“you” requires “were”).
· Hindi: “you” के साथ “were” आता है, “was” नहीं।
