Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
> "He told me to go on ____ till seven."
The sentence is referring to continuing an activity until seven, so we need a verb form that correctly follows the structure "go on + verb."
Now, let's look at the options:
- A. to work — This would imply the action of working, but the correct construction after "go on" is the -ing form of the verb. Incorrect.
- B. worked — This is the past tense and doesn't fit with the idea of continuing an action. Incorrect.
- C. works — This is the present tense form of the verb, but it doesn't fit the structure of "go on." Incorrect.
- D. working — This is the correct choice. "Go on working" is the correct expression for continuing an action. Correct.
- E. work — This would be an infinitive form, but after "go on," we need the -ing form. Incorrect.
