Q. Fill in the blank with suitable word - I like ……..In the sun
The sentence is “I like …….. in the sun.”
The verb form needed here is the present participle (lying), because it follows “like” and expresses an ongoing activity.
Lie = to recline (base form).
Lay = to put/place something (base form, transitive).
Laying = present participle of “lay” (placing something).
Lying = present participle of “lie” (reclining).
? So the correct option is (D) Lying.
