Correct Answer: lying


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : Lying is the present participle form of the verb "lie" (meaning to be in or assume a horizontal or resting position). In this context, "lying" would be used to describe the position of John's wife and kid on the road. It indicates that they were in a horizontal position on the road when John arrived at the scene.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "John rushed to the spot and saw his wife and kid lying on the road."
