• B. He swore that he had not stolen the bag.
• C. He was swearing that he had not stolen the bag.
• D. He swears that he had not stolen the bag.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The task is to choose the grammatically correct past tense sentence. This tests verb tense knowledge.

The options use different forms of the verb "swear":

Base Form	Past Simple	Past Participle
swear	swore	sworn

How to choose the correct form:

1. Determine the required tense: The sentence needs the past simple tense for a completed action.
2. Use the past simple form of "swear," which is "swore."
3. Verify tense and meaning. The sentence should be logically and grammatically sound, describing a past action.

Correct Example:

"He swore that he had not stolen the bag."

This sentence correctly uses the past simple "swore."
