Answer: The sentence has a simple past tense, except the part of the sentence in the bold letters. Thus we have to replace the bold out part of the option that is in the simple past. The option C) i.e. “also got” seems to fit perfectly. So the correct sentence can be written as “Besides her friends, her wife and colleagues also got the invitation.
Example 2: Great representatives are always empathetic towards her people’s needs.
A) A great representative is B) Great representatives is C) Some great representatives are D) All great representatives are E) No correction required
Answer: The hint word or the defining word here is the possessive adjective ‘her’. This occurs in the predicate part of the sentence (the part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject) containing this possessive adjective hints at a subject that is singular in nature. In other words “representative is” will make the sentence grammatically more correct. Hence the option A) A great representative is, is the correct option.
