1.

1). Could survived2). Is surviving3). Survived4). Survive

Answer»

Option 1 needs to be omitted as 'could' indicates past tense form which is not appropriate in the context.

Option 2 is an INCORRECT option because in this sentence, present continuous tense cannot be used. MOREOVER, ‘is’ is used with singular form but here, we are talking about an ‘area’ as a WHOLE. Option 4 is ALSO incorrect as we need to use have/has/had + root form of the VERB, thus it is also eliminated. Hence, option 3 has the correct usage.

Correct Sentence: In the catastrophic earthquake, none in the area survived.
