Answer 1

Hint: A statement is being made. Based on this information, we can safely assume that the action has happened, but the effects are still in the present, as it is a situation that has taken place. The subject is singular. This will help you determine the answer.

Complete answer:
Let us look at the given sentence first-
It describes an action that happened in the present. The first sentence states that the subject is very hungry. So, we can understand that the second sentence will give us the reason for the first statement. The given statement is in the present perfect tense, which describes an event taken place, that still has present consequences. So, the given tense fits.

Now, we know what we want in the given sentence. Let’s look at the given options-
a) The given verb form is wrong: The correct option is: I didn’t eat - This option suggests that the given tense is wrong and that the required tense is simple past tense. However, this tense is wrong for the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
b) The given verb form is wrong: The correct option is: I wasn’t eaten - This option suggests that the given tense is wrong and that the required tense is simple past tense. However, this tense is wrong for the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c) The given verb form is wrong: The correct option is: I won’t eat - This option suggests that the given tense is wrong and that the required tense is simple past tense. However, this tense is wrong for the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
d) The given verb form is correct. - This option suggests that the given tense is correct and the verb does not need changing. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.

Note:
Read the given sentence, and understand the meaning perfectly. Then, check each part of the speech of the sentence. Choose the answer that is the most appropriate.
