Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is right only if it is in the right tense. Choose the option wisely so that it is in the right tense making the sentence grammatically right. Repeat the sentence a few times after fitting in each option to make sure the option chosen sounds sensible.

Complete answer:
Option A) Marry - ‘She has no intention of marry a poor man like you’ is grammatically incorrect and is the wrong option.

Option B) To marry - ‘She has no intention of to marry a poor man like you’ is grammatically incorrect and is the wrong option.

Option C) Marrying - ‘She has no intention of marrying a poor man like you’ is the right option as it fills the blank appropriately.

Option D) Married - ‘She has no intention of married a poor man like you’ is grammatically incorrect and is the wrong option.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:Verbs indicate the timing of an event whether it is in past, present or future tense. Past tense indicates an event which has already happened. Present tense indicates an event which is happening in the present. Future tense indicates an event which will happen in the future. Option (C) is in present participle form. It is a non-finite verb and doesn’t show any tense. Hence you cannot predict whether it’s past, present or future tense. Option (A) is in simple present tense form. Option (B) is in infinitive form. Infinitive is nothing but ‘to + verb’. Option (D) is in past participle form which is also a non-finite verb indicating no tense form.
