Question
............ was a strong wind yesterday. Many people ............. and cannot go home. a) There, are stranded b) Here, were stranded c) It, are stranded d) It, were stranded
Solution
The correct answer is d) It, were stranded.
Here's why:
The first blank requires a subject for the sentence. In English, when talking about the weather, we often use 'it' as a subject. So, 'It' fits better than 'There' or 'Here'.
The second blank requires a verb that agrees with 'many people'. In this context, the action happened in the past (yesterday), so we need the past tense of the verb. 'Were stranded' is the past tense, while 'are stranded' is present tense. Therefore, 'were stranded' is the correct choice.
