Question

Complete the following sentence using the correct form of the verb in the brackets.
Mr. Gupta's servant _______ (steal) the money yesterday.

• A. stole
  
• B. steal
• C. stolen
• D. were stealing

Answer 1

The correct option is A stole

From the given options, the correct word to be used is A) stole.
Option B) steal is incorrect because 'steal' is in the present tense. However, the word 'yesterday' in the sentence indicates that the 'stealing' happened in the past.
Option C) stolen would have been correct if the blank was preceded by 'had'.
Option D) were stealing is incorrect because there is only one servant and 'were' is plural.

So, the correct answer is A) stole, which is in the simple past tense.
