Put in a correct participle in the blank space.
The sea ______, we went for sail.
- a.being rough
- b.disturbed
- c.being kind
- d.being smooth
Answer: (D) being smooth
'Being smooth' is the correct absolute participial phrase: the sea being smooth was the condition enabling the sail. 'Being rough' would be the opposite condition. 'Disturbed' is a past participle but does not fit idiomatically.
