Choose the correct option to fill in the blanks in the sentence:

Flights kept _________ because of bad weather.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> "delay" is the base form and grammatically incorrect after "kept."

Option 2 -> "being delayed" is the present continuous passive form, correctly showing flights were continuously delayed.

Option 3 -> "having delayed" incorrectly suggests flights actively delayed something, which is illogical.

Option 4 -> "having been delayed" is grammatically awkward and unnecessarily complex for this context.

Hence, Option 2: being delayed -> The structure "kept + being + past participle" correctly expresses continuous passive action, meaning flights continued to experience delays due to bad weather -> correct
