ii) Look! A man ran (run) after a bus.

Reason:- (Here, the spectator is telling others about the man who ran after a bus, that is why ran is used in place of the run because the bus is in past tense)

iii) Please stand (Stand) in a queue.

iv) The earth revolves (revolve) around the sun.

Reason:- (the earth revolves around the Sun is an activity happening in the present)

v) I got (get) a letter from him ten days ago.

Reason:- (The person received the letter ten days ago, so the activity has happened in the past, therefore, the tense is in past)
