Question and options
Direction: Find out the correct alternative to fill in the blank.
What __________ when you saw her?
- is Sita wearing
- was Sita wearing
- has Sita worn
- was wearing Sita
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - was Sita wearing
The question asks what was in progress at a past moment, so the past continuous is needed, with the auxiliary before the subject: 'What was Sita wearing when you saw her?' 'Was wearing Sita' has the wrong word order, 'is Sita wearing' is present, and 'has Sita worn' does not fit a past time clause.
