      1) I heard my neighbour __________ fiercely with her relatives at midnight. (a) quarrel (b) quarrelled (c) quarrelling


      There is only one finite verb for this sentence because of the only Subject \"I\", what that follows is the Object . Chances are you can answer 'quarrel' also because there is a specific time which is at midnight.
      However I chose 'quarrelling' because the sentence may also be about a regular occurence, and also may emphasize the aspect of the quarrelling over a timeframe . It probably didn't only happen that midnight , but on other nights or days as well.


      So determines how you would view it.

      I saw him die at midnight. ( to me this means you see the whole thing)
      I saw him dying at midnight( to me this means you may or may not have seen the completion of the act of dying.) So if one was sleeping at midnight , would one want to hear the entire quarrel which may last for several hours? One could have heard the entire quarrel or just part of the quarrel but on common sense ,no one would want to listen to an entire quarrel by one's neighbour.

      I saw him eating the chicken at midnight.

          If you have been paying attention, you might have already know what the correct answer is. Why don’t you try?
