Question 1 Report

Fill the gap with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap.

The keepers themselves are sometimes _______ by the bees?

Answer Details
The correct option is "stung". The sentence is in the passive voice, and the subject "the keepers" is the one receiving the action of the verb "stung" performed by the bees. "Stung" is the correct past participle form of the verb "sting" which means to prick or wound with a sting. Therefore, the sentence means that the bees sometimes sting the keepers.
