    Question

    In the following question, the sentence given with blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

    Once transportation across long distances made other

    vegetables easily available, we ______ what was available in our backyards.
    A began ignore of Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B began to ignore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C begin ignoring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D begin ignore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Once transportation across long distances made other vegetables easily available, we began to ignore what was available in our backyards. The overall sentence is in past tense. In that sense, option 3 and 4 can be easily ruled out. For option 1, ‘began ignore of’ cannot fit in the blank as it is grammatically incorrect. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
