Question

Choose the correct statement:

विकल्प

• He sweared that he had not stolen the bag.

• He swore that he had not stolen the bag.

• He was swearing that he had not stolen the bag.

• He swears that he had not stolen the bag.

Answer 1

He swore that he had not stolen the bag.

Explanation:

• The correct past tense of "swear" is "swore" (not "sweared," which is incorrect).
• The past perfect tense ("had not stolen") matches with "swore" in reported speech.
• Other options either use incorrect verb forms or do not fit grammatically.
