Mr. Shiv_____ a talk at the meeting.

• A. made
• B. did
• C. is making
• D. gave

Answer 1

Answer:

D. gave

• Context of the Sentence:
  • The phrase "a talk at the meeting" indicates that Mr. Shiv delivered or presented something during the meeting ("a talk at the meeting" indicates that ശിവ് മീറ്റിംഗിൽ എന്തെങ്കിലും പ്രസംഗിക്കുകയോ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുകയോ ചെയ്തു എന്നാണ്).
• Verb Options:
  • "made a talk": This phrase is not commonly used in English.
  • "did a talk": While grammatically possible, it is not idiomatic.
  • "is making a talk": This would suggest an ongoing action, which does not fit the likely past tense context of the sentence.
  • "gave a talk": This is the standard and idiomatic way to express that someone delivered a speech or presentation in the past.
