    The photos ____________famous. (become)

    • Become

    • Became

    • Becomed

    Correct Answer
    A. Became

    • Believed

    • Believes

       In 1917, Elsie and Frances _______   _________ photos.  (be + take - past) - ProProfs

       In 1917, Elsie and Frances _______   _________ photos.  (be + take - past)

    • Be taking

    • Was taking

    • Were taking

    Correct Answer
    A. Were taking
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "were taking." This is because the subject "Elsie and Frances" is plural, so the verb should also be plural. Additionally, the past tense of the verb "to be" for the subject "Elsie and Frances" is "were." The verb "taking" is in the present participle form, which is used to indicate an ongoing action in the past. Therefore, "were taking" is the correct form to use in this sentence.

    Elsie’s father _______________the photos. (believe - negative) - ProProfs

    Elsie’s father _______________the photos. (believe - negative)

    • Didn't believe / did not believe

    • Did believed / believed

    • Didn't believed / did not believed

    Correct Answer
    A. Didn't believe / did not believe
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "didn't believe / did not believe". This is because when using the negative form of the verb "believe" in the past tense, we need to use the auxiliary verb "did not" or its contraction "didn't" followed by the base form of the verb "believe".

    Rate this question:

  • 6.

    • Was claimed

    • Were claiming

    • Claimed

    Correct Answer
    A. Claimed
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "claimed." This is because the sentence is in the past tense and refers to a single event in the past. "Claimed" is the past tense form of the verb "claim" and is the appropriate choice in this context.
