The provided item appears to be a fill-in-the-blank question formatted as a short answer.
Question: They ______ the party early yesterday. (Answer should be a past tense verb.)
Options: There are no answer options supplied in the data (the answer_options field is an empty string list).
Because there are no multiple-choice options to evaluate, I cannot perform a choice-by-choice analysis as requested. Instead, I can reason about the expected answer given the prompt.
- Expected form: In English, the verbs describing a completed action in the past tense typically use the simple past. The subject 'They' requires the past tense verb 'left' to agree with the subject and maintain correct subject-verb agreement: They left the party early yesterday.
- The provided 'answer' field contains ['left'], which matches the conventional past tense form of the verb 'leave' for the plural subject 'They'. This aligns with standard grammar rules for simple past tense conjugation.
- Grammatical consistency check: 'They left the party early yesterday' is a complete, grammatical sentence. Using 'left' avoids mismatches in person and number and correctly situates the action in the past with the time adverb 'yesterday'.
- If there were alternative past forms, such as 'lefts' or 'leaving,' those would be incorrect here: 'lefts' is not a valid past tense form, and 'leaving' is the present participle/gerund, not the simple past.
- Potential sources of confusion: a person might consider the base form 'leave' or the gerund 'leaving', but the sentence requires a finite verb to complete the predicate with proper tense; 'left' is the correct finite past-tense form.
In summary, given the expected fill-in and the provided answer 'left', the answer is correct for typical English grammar rules governing the simple past tense for the subject 'They'. However, due to the absence of answer options in the data, a standard option-by-option justification cannot be provided here.
