  1. did not see

  2. am not seeing

  3. have not seen

  4. has not seen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Present perfect 'have not seen' is correct because Raju is describing a situation that started in the past and continues up to the present - he hasn't seen Mohan for many days, and this period extends to now. Present perfect captures this duration from past to present.

Multiple choice

  1. rode

  2. was riding

  3. had been riding

  4. had ridden
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The past continuous tense 'was riding' describes an ongoing action in the past that was interrupted by another event (the bus hitting from behind). The other options don't fit: 'rode' is simple past (completed action), 'had been riding' implies duration before another past event, and 'had ridden' is past perfect. The context shows the bike-riding was happening when suddenly interrupted.

  1. has remained

  2. remained

  3. has to remain

  4. had to remain
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

'Had to remain' uses the past perfect of obligation, expressing what was necessary in the past. The hospital stay of three days was compulsory due to his injuries. 'Has remained' would connect to present, 'remained' is simple past without emphasizing necessity, and 'has to remain' is present obligation. The context shows a completed past necessity.

  1. get his

  2. got his

  3. has his

  4. had his
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

'Got his leg fractured' is the simple past form describing the injury that occurred. 'Get' + past participle is commonly used for passive events involving accidents or misfortunes. 'Had his leg fractured' would imply someone caused it, while 'has his' and 'get his' don't fit the past context of the accident.

  1. can

  2. does

  3. did

  4. has
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

'Did' is the auxiliary verb used to form questions in the simple past tense. The question 'How did it happen?' asks about the manner in which the accident occurred. 'Can' asks about ability, 'does' is for present simple, and 'has' is for present perfect - none fit the past context.

  1. have not

  2. have joined

  3. have not joined

  4. shall not join
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

'Have not joined' uses present perfect to indicate that up to the present moment, no coaching center has been joined. The context 'any yet' connects with present perfect, which shows experience up to now. 'Have not' is incomplete, 'shall not join' is future, and 'have joined' is affirmative, contradicting 'yet'.
