Question : Directions: In the question, a sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four alternatives.
The Sun ______ brightly.
Option 1: shone
Option 2: shining
Option 3: shine
Option 4: is shine
Correct Answer: shone
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Shone is the past form of "shine", which means to emit bright light, and is the correct form out of the given options.
- Shining is the gerund form, and "is shine" is grammatically incorrect, both of which are not appropriate according to the structure of the sentence.
- Shine is not correct, as "the sun" is a singular noun, so the singular form of the verb should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The sun shone brightly."
