Answer 1

Ответ:

C) greeted/ are/ taking

Объяснение:

"Hello, Mr. Roberts" greeted the clerk. "What are you taking home to your wife today?"

Answer 2

The correct answer is: b) greeting / were / taking.

In this conversation, the clerk is asking Mr. Roberts what he was taking home to his wife today.

The verb "greet" is incorrect as it does not fit the context of the conversation. The clerk is not greeting Mr. Roberts, but simply asking him a question.

The verb "Greeting" in option b is the correct form as it functions as a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun. It represents the action of greeting someone.

The auxiliary verb "were" is used to indicate the past tense of the verb "greeting." The conversation is in the past tense, as indicated by the use of the word "today."

The verb "taking" is the correct form as it agrees with the subject "you." It represents the action of bringing or carrying something home.

Therefore, the correct answer is: "greeting / were / taking"
