Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
"My mother was so helpful while she was staying with us"
"What ____________ to do?"
The correct option is A did she help you
Answer : A
The Past tense is
used to refer to a completed action in the past but with a clear reference to
the specific time of action in the past.
Here
in the question, the first person is saying that her mother was helpful while she was staying with them (while here suggests past tense), & the second person is asking what all things she (mother) helped him/her doing. As the reference is being made to an action that happened in the past with reference to specific time period ("while she was staying with us"), therefore
the correct tense to use here is Simple Past Tense.
Here the sentence is
the question form.
A sentence of Simple
Past Tense in question form is formulated as: did + [subject] + [root form of the verb]When asking a
question with the verb "to be" the formula is : was / were +
[subject]
Here the verb is help (root form of the verb).
Therefore the
correct formulation here is : did + she + help
Therefore the
correct complete sentence is"What DID SHE HELP YOU to do?"
