Question

The staff ........ a beautiful gift to their boss.

• A. give
• B. gave
• C. gives
• D. giving

Answer 1

Answer:

B. gave

• "give" is the present tense, which does not fit the context of a completed action.
• "gives" is the present tense, third-person singular form, which does not fit the plural noun "staff" or the context of a past action.
• "gave" is the past tense, which fits the context of the action having been completed in the past (pastൽ പൂർത്തിയാക്കിയ പ്രവർത്തനത്തിൻ്റെ സന്ദർഭത്തിന് അനുയോജ്യമാണ്).
• • The staff gave a beautiful gift to their boss. / ജീവനക്കാർ അവരുടെ ബോസിന് മനോഹരമായ ഒരു സമ്മാനം നൽകി.
• "giving" is the present participle, which does not fit the structure of the sentence.
