Question

Fill in the blank with the past tense form of the verb:
He____________ all the accusations. (deny)
a. Denied
b. Denyd
c. Denyied
d. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: The meaning of ‘Deny’ is to refuse to admit something that is a truth or a state of existence of something. It is a verb.

Complete Solution:
Option a ‘Denied’ is the correct option. The past form of the word ‘Deny’ is ‘Denied’. So, this option is the correct option. It also conforms with the meaning of the sentence and gives it a coherent meaning.
Option b ‘Denyd’ is the incorrect option as no such word exists in the English Language. The spelling is incorrect.
Option c ‘Denyied’ is the incorrect option as no such word exists in the English Language. The spelling is incorrect.

Note: The two options have the same fault. They mean the same word but the spelling is incorrect and thus they cease to exist in the English Language.
