• A. seemed disliking
• B. seemed to have disliking
• C. seemed to have disliked
• D. seem to be disliked

Answer 1

Answer:

C. seemed to have disliked

• "The guests admired my paintings but they seemed to have disliked my writings." / അതിഥികൾ എൻ്റെ പെയിൻ്റിംഗുകളെ അഭിനന്ദിച്ചു, പക്ഷേ അവർക്ക് എൻ്റെ രചനകൾ ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടില്ല.
• "Seemed to have disliked" is correct because it conveys that the guests appeared to not like the writings in the past. (ഇഷ്‌ടപ്പെടാത്തതായി തോന്നുന്നു).
• "Seemed disliking" is grammatically incorrect.
• "Seemed to have disliking" is also grammatically incorrect.
• "Seem to be disliked" is incorrect because it suggests that the writings themselves are being disliked by others continuously, rather than focusing on the guests' past reaction.
