Which one of the following is correct and can you tell me why?

The rule is that you have to give an answer first. (And tell us the reason for your choice.)

hello canadian45 do you want to chat

The answer is A.

But I am not quite sure why it is A! If anyone can help?

andybusyIts tusks, ___ over 60 kilograms each, were carried on a reindeer-pulled sled.
a. weighing
b. weighed
c. weigh
d. were weighed

"weighing" is correct. It's an adjective and is the only word that fits the grammar and punctuation of the sentence.

b. and c. would have to say 'tusks (weighed)(weigh) over 60 kilograms eac

canadian45b. and c. would have to say 'tusks (weighed)(weigh) over 60 kilograms each and were carried.....''

I disagree. The reason is this. The first comma sets off an adverbial situation. The answer is either "weighing" which is a present participle, or "weighed " which is an "ed" participle, making up the adverbial clause " .weighing. over 60 kilograms each

The teacher teaches us the way how to pick the correct choice!

First, by considering how many finite verb in the sentences, and then we have to change the other word into non-finite word by the following way,

1. Gerund e.g. I like (finite verb) swimming (non-finite verb)
2. "infinite to" He wanted (finite verb) to break (non-finite verb) the window. "bare infinite" Don't

Personally, I would pick B.

Here is another question.

Snopes' world headquarters is actually just Barbara and David (25)_____ around their modest home on a shady hillside outside Los Angles

25 A. sits
B sit
C seated
D seating

Can you pick the right one!!! ? I have no confidence in those proof reading questions!

dimsumexpressSo, straight-forward answer is A, but "weighed" is not wrong.

'Weighed' is wrong.

Why weighed is wrong??? Can you explain it to me!!! Many thanks !!! Exam is coming real soon!
