Question

read the sentence.
during these seemingly endless winter days, as were bombarded with frigid winds, i ______ for the arrival of balmy spring days.
which verb or verb phrase is in the correct tense to complete the sentence?
○ yearn
○ yearned
○ did yearn
○ will yearn

Explanation:

The sentence uses "as we're bombarded" (present continuous), indicating an action happening in the present. The simple present tense "yearn" matches the context of a current, ongoing feeling during these winter days. "Yearned" is past, "did yearn" is emphatic past, and "will yearn" is future, which don't fit the present context.

Answer:

A. yearn
