Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Running
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach
For short vowel + single consonant verbs like ‘‘run’’, the final consonant is doubled before ‘‘-ing’’ → running.
Option analysis
Friming — not a standard verb form. ❌Burnning — ‘‘burn’’ ends with r; no doubling needed → correct form would be ‘‘burning’’; this has an extra ‘‘n’’. ❌Running — correct (run → running). ✅Fryng — missing the vowel ‘‘i’’ (should be ‘‘frying’’ if from fry). ❌
Rule reminder
Double final consonant for CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) monosyllables when adding ‘‘-ing’’.
Final Answer
Running
