Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap:

The competitor who _____ earlier on has started _____ again

Answer Details
The competitor who fainted earlier on has started running again. This option makes the most sense in the context of the sentence. It suggests that the competitor had a medical emergency or physical exhaustion earlier and had to stop, but has now recovered and started running again. The verb tense is consistent, using the past simple for the first action (fainted) and the present participle for the ongoing action (running). The other options do not match the grammar and meaning of the sentence as well.
