Question

Replace the underlined noun with the appropriate verb in the below sentence:
The detective's conclusion was that Shreyas was the murderer.

• A. The detective concluded that Shreyas was the murderer.
• B. The detective conclused that Shreyas was the murderer.
• C. The detective conclusated that Shreyas was the murderer.
• D. The detective conclued that Shreyas was the murderer.

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The detective concluded that Shreyas was the murderer.

The underlined word, 'conclusion' is a noun which means: The final part of something. It also means the opinion formed by someone after analysing all the available information. The associated verb is, 'conclude' which means: To judge or decide or opine something after analysing/thinking about it. The past tense form of the verb is 'concluded', as used in Option A, which is the correct answer.

Options B, C and D are incorrect as there are no words such as 'conclused' or 'conclusated, or 'conclued' in the English language. These words carry no meaning.
