From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence below.
The teachers …… our poor performance in the examinations.
- are discussing on
- were discussing about
- had discussed on
-
were discussing
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Were is used in the second person singular and plural (you, your, yours) and first and third person plural (we, they).
“Discussing” means “talking about (something or someone) with another person or group of people. As a result, if you say, “discussing about” you are being redundant. As a result, the correct sentence would be “They were discussing you.”
