Answer 1

Answer:

I think that the sentence 3is right.

Answer 2

Option 3) The ragged man was one of the judges on the train.

Explanation:

• The past tense form of is, tries, and ignores is was, tried, and ignored.
• The sentences given are stating facts that had occurred in the past.
• The past form of the verbs must be used instead of the ones actually used.
• Only statement 3 has the proper use of the verb.
• Thus, that is the correct one.
• An alternative approach is also possible in this scenario.
• If we consider the tense of the statements 1,2 and 4, we notice that they all correlate to form a sequential series of sentences.
• Thus, they can be considered too.
