Question

Choose the correct verb form to fill in the blanks:
That there would be thunderstorm today was ______by the weather experts.

• A. foretold
• B. foreteld
• C. fortelling
• D. foretell

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this question, we need to choose the correct verb form to fill in the blank in the sentence: "That there would be thunderstorm today was ______ by the weather experts."

1. Understand the context: The sentence describes an action that has already been predicted by the weather experts. This suggests the need for a past tense form of the verb.
2. Analyze the options:
   1. foretold: This is the past tense form of the verb "foretell," meaning to predict or forecast something.
   2. foreteld: This is not a valid word in English. It appears to be a misspelling of "foretold."
   3. fortelling: This is not a correct form based on the context of the sentence. "Fortelling" is also not the standard conjugation in this context.
   4. foretell: This is the base form (infinitive) of the verb, which is not suitable for the sentence structure, as the sentence requires a past tense verb.
3. Conclusion: Based on the analysis of each option, "foretold" is the correct choice. It correctly fulfills the requirement of a past tense verb that conveys the action of prediction done by the weather experts.

Hence, the sentence is completed as: "That there would be thunderstorm today was foretold by the weather experts."
