Sentence Completion

The sentence requires the present perfect tense 'has' because 'Mohan' is a third-person singular subject. The present perfect tense 'has missed' indicates an action that started in the past and continues to the present or has relevance to the present. 'Have' is used with plural subjects and 'I/you'.

The sentence describes an action that happened at a specific point in the past - at the finish line. 'Threw' is the simple past tense of 'throw' and is the correct form here. 'Through' is a preposition, 'thrown' is the past participle, and 'throwing' is the present participle, none of which fit the sentence structure.

The event is singular, so it requires the singular verb form 'is held' not 'are held'. The passive voice 'is held' is appropriate because the event receives the action - it doesn't hold itself. The sentence could also use active voice future 'will be held' but 'will held' is grammatically incorrect.

Correct Answer: became

The sentence expresses a general truth or present state of knowledge, so the simple present 'know' is correct. The speaker knows (now) that people have expectations. 'Knew' is past tense, 'had known' is past perfect, and 'known' is the past participle - none of which fit the present context.

The sentence requires the future passive construction 'will be spared' because no one receives the action of being spared. 'Will be' indicates future tense passive voice. 'Would be' is conditional, 'could' expresses possibility alone, 'will' lacks the passive 'be', and 'would' is conditional without the necessary structure.

The phrase 'take place' is an idiomatic expression meaning 'to happen' or 'to occur'. Since this incident happened some years ago (past time), the correct form is the simple past 'took'. 'Take' is present tense, 'taken' is the past participle, and 'get' is the wrong verb entirely.

The sentence describes an action that occurred in the past, so the simple past tense 'began' is required. 'Begin' is present tense, 'begun' is the past participle, and 'has begun'/'have begun' are present perfect forms. The context 'some years ago' clearly indicates past tense.

The sentence requires a verb form that indicates having an opportunity in the past. "Had the chance" is the past perfect form used when referring to a completed opportunity or possession. "Have" would be present perfect, "has" doesn't agree with "I", "am" requires a complement, and "was" would need a different sentence structure.

The word "Since" indicates an action or state that began in the past and continues to or has relevance in the present. Present Perfect tense (has won) is used with "since" to show the starting point of a continuing situation. "Win" is present tense, "had won" is past perfect, and "have won" doesn't agree with the singular subject "he".

The answer is "was taken". No other choice would work. Option 3 could work, but there would be a need for the word "been" included in the sentence; however, this form is not needed for the sentence.

The sentence describes an action completed before another past event or time reference. Past Perfect tense (had given) is used when one past action happened before another past action. "Have given" is present perfect, "gave" is simple past, "was giving" is past continuous, and "were giving" doesn't agree with singular "government".

The sentence describes moving together with someone. "Came along" is a phrasal verb meaning to accompany someone. "Came upon" means to discover by chance, "came before" means preceding, and "came ahead" is not a standard phrasal verb in this context.

The sentence describes a completed action in the past with a specific time marker (last year). Simple Past tense (left) is used for completed actions with definite past time. Present Perfect (has/have left) cannot be used with specific past time markers like "last year". "Leave" is present tense, and "had left" would require another past event for context.

The sentence uses "before" with a clause referring to the future from the perspective of the main clause. Simple Present tense (come) is used in time clauses (introduced by before, after, when, etc.) to refer to future time. "Came" is past tense, "comes" is third person singular, and "am coming" is present continuous.

The sentence describes seeing someone in the past. Simple Past tense (saw) is used for completed actions. "Seen" is a past participle and needs an auxiliary verb. "Was seen" is passive, "do saw" is grammatically incorrect, and "have seen" is present perfect.

The first blank requires a singular verb to agree with "postman" (singular). The second blank requires a plural verb to agree with "friends" (plural). "Was" agrees with postman, "were" agrees with friends. The other options either mix up the numbers or use incorrect tenses.

The sentence describes a passive action where respect is given to Suruchi. The present tense "is respected" is correct for a current state. The singular subject "she" requires singular verb forms. "Was/were respected" are past tense and don't agree in number, "has respected" is active voice.

The sentence describes a house being completed in the past. Passive voice with past tense (was completed) is required. "Is completed" would mean it's happening now, "had completed" is wrong as houses cannot complete themselves, and "will completed" is grammatically incorrect.

The sentence describes a future arrangement ('This will be') in addition to a promised amount. 'Will be' is the correct future tense form to indicate what is additionally expected. 'Would be' would require a conditional context, which isn't present here.

The sentence discusses the purpose of education. 'Should' expresses moral obligation or purpose, indicating what education ought to do. 'Will/shall' indicate simple future, 'would' is conditional, and 'can' indicates ability rather than purpose.

The sentence has the tone of an advice. Advices are general statements which should be in present, not in past - "can't" is correct, not "couldn't". "Wouldn't" and "wasn't" are incorrect as their usage makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
