Answer 2

Question :

Fill in the blanks with any of the options given below :

Barry's real triumph is_____

Barry's real triumph is_____in the desert for a month

• To have survived
• As to surviving
• For surviving

Answer :

Barry's real triumph is to have survived

in the desert for a month.

• The second option is cancelled out as 'to' is followed by simple present tense whereas in the given sentence , it is followed by a continuous form. Hence there's a grammatical error.
• Barry's achievement is to successfully survive in the desert for a month. Therefore , the action is past , but has the effect at present. Therefore we use present perfect tense in this case.
• First option is the most appropriate one for the given blank.
