Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option " gave".

It accurately conveys the action of delivering a lecture, which is the intended meaning. "Gave a lecture" is the standard phrase used to describe the act of presenting a lecture.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Will make : It suggests the future tense, which is not suitable for describing a past action.
  • Would make : It is typically used to describe hypothetical or conditional actions in the past, and it doesn't fit the context of simply delivering a lecture.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "I gave a lecture".
