Question 1 Report

Fill in the gap(s) with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap(s).

What saved her was that she _____ to the side of the boat?

Answer Details
The correct option is "clung". The sentence is in the past tense, and it describes an action that saved the subject. The verb that fits the context and tense is "clung", which means to hold on tightly to something. "Had clinged" is incorrect because "clinged" is not a valid verb form in English. "Clanged" is also incorrect because it means to make a loud ringing noise, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.
