Question

(Because the flight was cancelled), some passengers had to spend the night at the airport.

A.

Because the flight were cancelled

B.

Because the flight was cancelling

C.

No correction required

D.

Because the flights was cancelling

Correct option is C


The sentence "Because the flight was cancelled, some passengers had to spend the night at the airport." is already correct.
· "The flight" is singular, so "was" is the correct verb form.
· "Cancelled" is the correct past participle for passive voice.
Grammatical rule used:
In passive voice, the structure is: Subject + was/were + past participle.
Explanation in Hindi:
Passive voice में, "was/were" के बाद हमेशा verb का past participle (V3) आता है। "The flight was cancelled" सही है क्योंकि "flight" एकवचन (singular) है।
Meanings of other options:
· Because the flight were cancelled – Incorrect, "flight" is singular, so "were" is wrong.
· Because the flight was cancelling – Incorrect, "was cancelling" is incorrect for passive voice.
· Because the flights was cancelling – Incorrect, "flights" is plural, so "was" is wrong.
