Incorrect Answerstand at
Incorrect Answerstands at
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- The sentence "Profit …….. at Rs. 25.3 crore against Rs.10.1 crore in 2017-18." requires the correct past tense of "stand" to describe the profit figures in a previous period.
- Option 1: "standing at" is continuous present tense, which is not suitable here since we are dealing with past data.
- Option 2: "stand at" is present simple tense, not fitting because it refers to current or regular states, not past.
- Option 3: "stood at" is past simple tense and is appropriate for describing a past event, which aligns with the given context of last year's profits.
- Option 4: "stands at" is also present tense and thus unsuitable for past events.
