Answer:
There was a trader who had a beautiful white horse. He went on horse back through a forest every day. A dacoit who lived in the forest wanted his horse. One day when trader had gone to the city he saw a sick person wrapped in a blanket.
The correct answers are a) had b) went c) lived d) wanted e) had gone f) saw g) wrapped.
- Note that the entire story that has been given to us has been written in the past tense. We will be using the simple past tense forms of each of the words that are given in the parenthesis.
- So the correct answers are:
a) have = had
b) go = went
c) live = lived
d) want = wanted
e) We use past perfect tense to describe which event occurred first.
Here, since the action that took place first is the trader reaching
the city, the correct form of the given verb is
go = had gone
f) see = saw
g) wrap = wrapped.
- Hence, the final answer is:
There was a trader who (a) had a beautiful white horse. He (b) went
on horseback through a forest every day. A dacoit who (c) lived in
the forest (d) wanted his horse. One day when the trader (e) had
gone to the city he (f) saw a sick person (g) wrapped in a blanket.
