Grammar

Easy

Select the verb to fill in the blank in the following sentence: It wasn't the first time they had been _________ how it worked.

reported

exclaimed

taught

inferred

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> "had been reported how" is grammatically incorrect; "report" doesn't work with this structure.

Option 2 -> "had been exclaimed how" doesn't work; "exclaim" is not used in passive voice this way.

Option 3 -> "had been taught how" is grammatically correct and makes logical sense with the passive construction.

Option 4 -> "had been inferred how" is incorrect; you don't "infer someone how something works."

Hence, Option 3: taught -> The sentence requires a verb that works in passive voice ("had been + past participle") and can be followed by "how it worked." "Taught" perfectly fits this structure, meaning they received instruction about how something worked on multiple occasions -> correct
