Question

When we saw him he was drenched because he _________________________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. i and ii.

Explanation:

You need to use past tense (found in i and ii) because the action took place in the past - we saw him doing something in the past (in this case, cycling). Therefore, this rules out iii. because it's a present moment.

However, if it's his routine (he cycles only in the rain), then iii. would also be correct - so it really depends on how you interpret the sentence (it is a bit ambiguous).
