Question

In an English Test, Column A gives a word, Column B gives its past participle and Column C gives the code of the pair as below:

Word	Past Participle	Code
WEAR	WEARING	1
WEAR	WEAR	2
WEAR	WORN	3
WEAR	WEARED	4

Which Code should Shamu choose, if he is asked to choose the correct pair of word and its corresponding past participle? (Note:- DO NOT include spaces in your answer)

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 3

Step 1: Identify the base word → The given word in Column A is “WEAR.” We need to determine its correct past participle form.
Step 2: Recall the verb forms → The verb “wear” (to have clothing or accessories on) follows the pattern:
- Present: wear
- Past tense: wore
- Past participle: worn
Step 3: Compare with the given options:
- Code 1: WEAR → WEARING (this is present participle, not past participle, so incorrect).
- Code 2: WEAR → WEAR (repetition of base form, incorrect).
- Code 3: WEAR → WORN (this matches the correct past participle form, correct).
- Code 4: WEAR → WEARED (this is grammatically incorrect, as “wear” is irregular, not regular).
Step 4: Conclude correctness → The correct pair is “WEAR – WORN,” which corresponds to Code 3.
Step 5: Apply the formatting rule → Since the instruction specifies no spaces, the final answer must be written simply as the digit.
