Model Answer

(a) ate

Anyas ate all the chocolates kept in the tray.

Explanation

The sentence refers to a completed past action (all chocolates are gone), so the simple past tense "ate" is correct. "Eating" is a present participle, "have eaten" requires a plural subject, and "eaten" alone cannot function as a verb without an auxiliary.

If a question refers to an image, map, graph or diagram that is not shown here, open the Study Guide single page app, go to Library and find the actual CBSE question paper. The original papers are also available on the CBSE website: cbse.gov.in.
