SENTENCE COMPLETION :

The speaker at the conference was very interesting. I _________ his talk very much.

• 'Like' is appropriate for the blank space.
• Therefore the complete sentence is : I like his talk very much.

Explanation :

• 'I like his talk very much' is written in Present Indefinite Tense.
• Here 'I' is subject and 'like' is main verb.
• 'I' is first person so s/es didn't add after 'like'

Answer 2

Answer:

The speaker at the conference was very interesting. I enjoyed his talk very much.

Explanation:

Many verbs such as 'enjoyed', 'relished', 'liked', etc. can be used in the blank. Since the first sentence is in the Simple Past, the verb to be filled in the blank should also be in Simple Past tense, otherwise it may become error of parallelism.

Parallelism means the use of successive verbal constructions in poetry or prose which correspond in grammatical structure, sound, metre, meaning, etc. In the given sentences Parallelism refers to grammatical structures, predominantly verbs, non-finite verbs.
