Question 1

The following sentences form a paragraph. For each blank, select the correct verb form.
-Oddly enough, although these dogs have been __________ for about three hundred years, Saint Bernards did not get their name until about a hundred years ago.

Accepted Answer

"Known" is the correct past participle form of the verb "to know" to use in this sentence. "Knowed" is not a correct verb form in standard English usage.

Question 2

The following sentences form a paragraph. For each blank, select the correct verb form.
-In all, Saint Bernards __________ more than two thousand lives.

Accepted Answer

Saint Bernards is a plural subject, so the verb form "have saved" is grammatically correct. "Has save" is incorrect because "has" is used for a singular subject and "save" is an incorrect verb form.

Question 3

The following sentences form a paragraph. For each blank, select the correct verb form.
-They __________ for a shelter in the Swiss Alps. Monks of the shelter of Saint Bernard used these dogs in rescue patrols.

Accepted Answer

The subject "Monks of the shelter of Saint Bernard" is plural and requires the verb form "were named."

Question 4

The following sentences form a paragraph. For each blank, select the correct verb form.
-Another dog ________ back to headquarters to sound the alarm and guide a rescue party to the scene.

Accepted Answer

The sentence is in the simple present tense, and "another dog" is the subject that requires a singular verb form. The correct form is "goes."
