Question

13. Complete the following sentence by using the most appropriate form of the tense given below.
The governor was
at the wit of the youth.
a) pleases
b) pleasing
c) pleased
d) please​

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) pleasing

Explanation:

There are only two possibilities and they are (b) and (c). But 'was' in the question gives us a hint. If it was past perfect tense then there should be 'The governer had pleased at the wit of the youth.' But here was is written which concludes that the tense is past continuous tense. So here we'll use pleasing as verb+ing is used in all continuos tense.
