Study Notes

The correct answer is a) play.
The sentence structure requires the base form of the verb after "would rather".
"To play" is the infinitive form, "played" is the past tense, and "playing" is the present participle.
The correct answer is c) met.
The sentence describes a past event, so the past tense is required.
"Have met" indicates a completed action in the past, typically used with a time frame like "since" or "for".
"Meeting" is the present participle, used for ongoing actions.
The correct answer is c) arrived.
The sentence uses the past tense "was having" to describe the background action, so the past tense "arrived" is necessary to describe the friend's action.
"Arrive" is the base form, "was arriving" is the past continuous tense, and "has arrived" is the present perfect tense.
The correct answer is c) went.
The sentence structure uses the past continuous tense "were watching" for the background action, and the past tense "went" is required to describe the light going out.
"Go" is the base form, "was going" is the past continuous tense, and "going" is the present participle.
