Verb Forms And Causative Verbs
The teacher made the naughty boy _______.
The sentence 'The teacher made the naughty boy ______.' requires a bare infinitive verb after 'made' as it is a causative verb. The correct form is 'tiptoe' (bare infinitive), so option A is correct. Options B and C are incorrect because 'tiptoes' is a noun or third person singular verb form, and 'to tiptoe' is the full infinitive, which is not used after 'made'. Since 'None of these' is option D, and option A is correct, the correct answer should be A.
