Q48

The accused ________ before the judge.

  1. (a) tried
  2. (b) was trial
  3. (c) sat trial
  4. (d) stood trialCorrect answer

Solution.

Answer: (d) stood trial

  1. The idiom “stand trial” means be tried in a court; its past tense is “stood trial”.
  2. “Tried” alone would make the accused the agent of trying something; the passive alternative would need “was tried”.
  3. “Was trial” and “sat trial” are not the required constructions.
