Correct Answer: arrived: dead


Solution : The correct option will be the second option.

Arrived and dead are the correct pair of words to be used in the sentence. As the sentence is in the past tense, the correct past tense of verbs should be used. The other options alter the tense of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "When the doctor arrived , the patient was already dead ".
