Question

Pick out the best filler which can complete the given sentence correctly. They ran so fast that they .................................

• A. May have won the race
• B. Won the race
• C. Winning the race
• D. Had won the race

Hint:

- Use simple past tense to express definite past events.
- Avoid mixing tenses unnecessarily in a sentence.
- Understand the meaning of each option and choose what fits best.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The sentence says: "They ran so fast that they ...'' meaning their speed led them to a result.
Step 1: Analyze options
- (A) "May have won'' is uncertain and does not fit well with the definite tone of the sentence.
- (B) "Won the race'' is simple past tense, clearly stating the outcome of their fast running.
- (C) "Winning the race'' is a present participle phrase and does not fit grammatically.
- (D) "Had won the race'' is past perfect tense, which is used for an action completed before another past action; unnecessary here.
Step 2: Choose best option
Option (B) is the most straightforward and grammatically correct choice.
Conclusion
Correct answer is (B).
