Question

The plane crashed and the passengers ______.

• A. perished
• B. are perished
• C. is perished
• D. were perished

Answer 1

Answer:

A. perished

• Perished: This is the past tense of the verb "perish," meaning to die, especially in a sudden or violent way.
• "The plane crashed and the passengers perished." / വിമാനം തകർന്നു, യാത്രക്കാർ മരിച്ചു.
• Are perished: Incorrect, as it is a grammatically incorrect form; "perish" is not used in the present tense this way.
• Is perished: Incorrect, as it does not agree with the plural subject "passengers" and is not the correct form.
• Were perished: Incorrect, as "perish" is not used with auxiliary verbs in the past tense in this context.
