Question 1 Report

Fill in the gap with the option that best completes the sentence.

If James fails his examination, his teachers, his parents, his friends, or I ______ to be blame.
Answer Details
The word "am" should be used to complete the sentence. This is because the sentence starts with "I" which is the first person singular pronoun, and the verb that follows it should also be in the first person singular form. "Am" is the first person singular form of "be". So the sentence should read "If James fails his examination, his teachers, his parents, his friends, or I am to be blamed." This sentence is in the present tense, indicating a possibility or a potential situation.
