Question

A memorandum ____7___ (submit) to the Deputy Commissioner by the District unit of the Shiromani

• A. was submitted
• B. were submitted
• C. was being submitted
• D. will be submitted

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

was submitted

Here, 'was submitted' in simple past tense is correct because it indicates an action that has already been completed. Here, the 'memorandum 'was' (past tense) submitted.
'Were submitted' is incorrect because memorandum (subject) is singular, not plural. So, 'was' is correct.
'Was being submitted' in present continuous is incorrect because it implies an action going on at the time of speaking.
'Will be submitted' in future continuous tense is incorrect because it indicates what will be going on in the near future.
