Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I got the computer ____.

• A. repairing
• B. repaired
• C. repairs
• D. to repair

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

repaired

Option B is correct.

the use of "got" in the sentence conveys that it is set in the past. hence the use of "repaired" in the sentence is justified as it is the past tense of "repair".

option A, "repairing" is present tense.

option C "repairs" is plural as against a singular activity in the sentence.

option D, "to repair" sounds as if to convey that the job of the computer is to repair something.

hence options A, C and D are ill suited answers.
