Answers
Answer:
Q1.ACCOMPANIED
1.BRINGS,
2 BAKES
4.DO
5.VIOLATED
6.DO
7.TAKES
8.PLACED
The correct answers are given below:
- Here, we have used the proper form of tenses of the words given in the parenthesis.
- Since, the event of the scholar and Nasruddin going to the restaurant, and the waiter bringing their orders are actions of the past, we have used the simple past tense here. So,
(0) accompany = accompanied
(1) bring = brought
(2) bake = baked
- After Nasruddin took the bigger fish, the action of the scholar displaying a look of intense disbelief is a continuing one, we have used continuous tense here,
(3) give = giving
- The scholar describes the actions of Nasruddin that took place. So we will use the simple past tense here.
(4) do = did
(5) violates = violated
- Next, Nasruddin asks the scholar a question. Since this event is taking place in the present, we use the simple present tense.
- (6) do = do
- The scholar tells what he would do if the roles were reversed. So the correct form of the tense to be used here is:
(7) take = would have taken.
- Lastly, Nasruddin did what made the scholar a gentleman. Since this action is taking place in the present, we will use the simple present tense.
(8) place = placed
- Hence, the correct answer is:
Nasruddin accompanied (accompany) a renowned scholar for a
meal where they ordered two fish in a local restaurant. Minutes
later, the waiter brought (bring) out a platter with two baked (bake)
fish on it, one of which was quite a bit bigger than the other.
Nasruddin took the bigger fish. Giving (give) Nasruddin a look of
intense disbelief, the scholar told him that what he did (do) was not
only selfish, but also violated (violate) the principles of good
etiquette. Nasruddin listened to the philosopher patiently, and said,
"Well, Sir, what would you do (do)?" "I, being a gentleman, would
have taken (take) the smaller fish for myself." "And here you are,"
said, Nasruddin "and placed (place) the smaller fish on the scholar's
plate."
