Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Bit is the correct choice to be used in the sentence as the sentence is telling about a past event, and bit is the past form of the verb "bite".

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Bite is in the present tense and is not the appropriate choice to be used as it is an event that is already completed.
  • Beat means to strike someone repeatedly and is not the correct choice in the context of the sentence.
  • Bitten is the past participle (V3 form) and does not fit the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The dog bit him".
