Question

Fill in blank ___(1)___ with the most suitable option:

• A. grew
• B. growing
• C. grow
• D. grown

Answer 1

The correct option is C grow

The word 'to' before any verb forms an infinitive. An infinitive is formed with a base verb, without any conjugation (adding -ing, -ed, etc. to it, or making any other changes).

From the options, 'grow' is the base verb in the infinitive 'to grow'. Hence option C is correct.

'Grew', 'growing' and 'grown' are conjugated forms of the verb 'to grow'. Hence these options are not suitable.
