Let’s go through each sentence one by one and pick the right word.
---
1. Rory __________ with his sister.
We see two options: *play* or *played*.
The picture shows them playing together — it’s something that already happened (past tense).
So we need “played”.
✔ Correct:
played
---
2. Who is your favourite __________?
Options: *singer* or *singing*.
“Favourite” describes a person you like best — so we want the noun form: *singer*.
“Singing” is an action, not a person.
✔ Correct:
singer
---
3. We were __________ so much!
Options: *laugh* or *laughing*.
“We were...” tells us this is happening in the past and was ongoing → use -ing form.
✔ Correct:
laughing
---
4. I am __________ my dad.
Options: *helper* or *helping*.
“I am...” means right now → use -ing form for present continuous.
Also, “helping my dad” makes sense as an action. “Helper” would be “I am a helper”, but there’s no “a” here.
✔ Correct:
helping
---
5. “Hurry up!” __________ Priya.
Options: *shouted* or *shouter*.
This is reporting what Priya said — she spoke loudly → verb needed.
“Shouted” is the past tense verb. “Shouter” is a person who shouts — doesn’t fit here.
✔ Correct:
shouted
---
Final Answer:
played, singer, laughing, helping, shouted
