Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution needed'.
When the sun began to set, the boys reluctantly deciding to going home.
Option 1: decide to going home
Option 2: No substitution needed
Option 3: deciding to go home
Option 4: decided to go home
Answer (1)
Correct Answer:
decided to go home
Solution :
The
fourth option
is the correct answer.
The verb
deciding
is in the present participle form, but it should be in the past tense to match the past tense of the main verb
began
in the sentence. The correct sentence should use the past tense
decided,
creating consistency in the sequence of tenses. The verb
decided
is followed by the infinitive form
to go
to express the action the boys decided to take.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "When the sun began to set, the boys reluctantly
decided to go
home."
