Demonstrate control of tenses and sentence structure.A girl _ (ride) an elephant around the ring.
Correct answer: C. Rode
- A. Ride
- B. Was riding
- C. Rode
- D. Will ride
Explanation
The correct answer is 'rode' because the sentence describes a completed action that happened in the past. The word 'rode' is the past tense form of 'ride.' The other options are not suitable: 'ride' is the base form and does not convey past tense, 'was riding' suggests an ongoing past action without context, and 'will ride' is a future tense not applicable here.
