Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

In this context, the verb "made" should be followed by the base form of the verb "weep". So, "made us weep" is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning because "made" is a causative verb that should be followed by the base form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "His miserable condition made us weep."
