Question 31

Select every verb that keeps one single form throughout, so that its base, past simple and past participle are identical (as in cast — cast — cast). Read cost in the price sense of what something charged a buyer.

  1. sit
  2. costCorrect answer
  3. cutCorrect answer
  4. meet
  5. letCorrect answer
  6. spreadCorrect answer

Explanation

Sit and meet do change, because sit — sat — sat and meet — met — met share the past simple and the participle with each other but not with the base, which is precisely what the one-form group avoids.
