Marry . . . . . . a question to Mohan yesterday.

Correct answer: Asked

Explanation —

The sentence describes a past action performed by Marry, so use the simple past active form.

• Rule: Subject + past-tense verb (V2) + object. Example: 'Marry asked Mohan a question yesterday.'

• Why other choices are incorrect:

• 'Was asked' uses the passive voice (was + past participle). That would make Marry the recipient of the question and would normally require 'by' before the agent (for example, 'Marry was asked a question by Mohan yesterday'). This changes the sentence focus and does not match the intended active meaning.

• 'Had asked' is past perfect and implies the action happened before another past event. There is no earlier past event in this sentence, so past perfect is unnecessary and changes the meaning.

• 'Asking' is a present participle and cannot by itself express a completed past action. You would need an auxiliary (for example, 'was asking') to form a past continuous, but the simple past 'asked' is the correct and natural choice here.

Note: The original solution incorrectly cited a rule using the past participle (V3). For the active past tense shown here, the correct reference is the past-tense verb form (V2).
