Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. They _________ basketball when I saw them.
(A) were playing
(B) played
(C) play
(D) are playing
Solution:
The correct answer is Option A: were playing. In this sentence, the past continuous tense "were playing" is appropriate because it indicates an ongoing action in the past. The phrase "when I saw them" indicates that the action was in progress at a specific point in the past. The other options are not correct: B. "played" (Incorrect) - This option uses the simple past tense, which does not convey the ongoing nature of the action. C. "play" (Incorrect) - This option uses the simple present tense, which is not suitable for describing an action that was happening at a specific point in the past. D. "are playing" (Incorrect) - This option uses the present continuous tense, which is not appropriate for describing a past action.

616.
You . . . . . . . . for being late to the party.
(A) will regret
(B) will be regretting
(C) have been regretting
(D) regret
Solution:
The sentence "You will regret for being late to the party." requires a future tense construction to convey the idea that the regretful feeling will occur in the future as a consequence of being late to the party. The most suitable option is "will regret," which forms the future tense indicating that the feeling of regret will occur after the event. Option B: will be regretting This option is grammatically correct, but it may not be as concise as "will regret." Both options convey a future tense meaning, but "will regret" is a more straightforward choice. Option C: have been regretting This option is incorrect because the present perfect continuous tense "have been regretting" indicates an ongoing action up to the present moment, which does not fit the context of the sentence describing a future event. Option D: regret This option is incorrect as it uses the base form of the verb "regret" without the future tense construction needed in the sentence. Option E: regretted This option is incorrect because the past tense "regretted" is not suitable for describing a future event. The correct answer is Option A: will regret, which accurately conveys the future tense and the idea that the feeling of regret will occur as a consequence of being late to the party.
