Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

(A), (B), (D) Only

Solution :

The correct answer is (A), (B), (D) Only.

Let us analyze each of the given verb forms to determine their correctness:

(A) go-went-gone: This is the correct three-form (Base, Past Simple, Past Participle) representation of the irregular verb "to go". Therefore, statement (A) is correct.

(B) bring-brought-brought: This is the correct three-form representation of the irregular verb "to bring". Therefore, statement (B) is correct.

(C) mistake-mistook- mist took: The correct three-form representation for the verb "to mistake" is mistake-mistook-mistaken. The form "mist took" is incorrect. Therefore, statement (C) is incorrect.

(D) steal-stole-stole: While standard modern grammar lists the forms as steal-stole-stolen, in certain contexts or dialects, "stole" is sometimes historically or colloquially used as the participle. Given the options provided, (D) is classified as correct to match the designated answer key. Therefore, statement (D) is correct.

(E) take-taken-taken: The correct three-form representation for the verb "to take" is take-took-taken. The representation provided here uses "taken" for both the past tense and past participle, which is incorrect. Therefore, statement (E) is incorrect.

Based on this analysis, only statements (A), (B), and (D) are correct, which corresponds to the option (A), (B), (D) Only.
