Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:

The referee contemplated............the players off the pitch.

Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "sending." The verb "contemplated" is followed by an object and a gerund. In this case, the object is "the players," and the gerund form of the verb "send" is "sending." Therefore, the correct option is "sending." Option A "to send" is an infinitive form of the verb and doesn't work in this context because it's not a gerund. Option B "to sending" is not grammatically correct because the preposition "to" should be followed by the base form of the verb. Option D "to be sending" is an infinitive form of the verb "to be" and doesn't fit with the context of the sentence.
