The teachers ………… politics when I entered the staff room.
- are discussing
- were discussing about
- are discussing on
-
were discussing
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
The sentence would read:
"The teachers were discussing politics when I entered the staff room."
The correct form is "discussing" without "about" or "on," as "discuss" already means to talk about something. Also, the past continuous tense (were discussing) is used to show that the action of discussing politics was happening when a past action occurred (the action of entering into the staff room).
