Question
I could see Dave ____ with her sister about the arrangement of the birthday party.a) was talkingb) talkc) talkingd) to talk
Solution
The correct answer is c) talking.
The sentence should read: "I could see Dave talking with her sister about the arrangement of the birthday party."
In this context, "talking" is the correct form of the verb to use after "could see." This is because "could see" is followed by an object and a verb in the -ing form (also known as a gerund). This is a common structure in English for expressing that you see someone in the middle of an action.
