"They were shocked at his failure in the competition"

Why not this might be the right one?

I think it will be past participle verb.

Sachin said:   9 years ago
Yes, the given sentence passive that's why were + v3 is correct.

Ramesh Pujari said:   9 years ago
Since shock is intransitive Verb, hence we must use it in Passive.

Therefore E is the correct answer.

Were is past form of 'be' form.

Promila said:   9 years ago
They 'all" were shocked is correct here.

Neha said:   8 years ago
They were all shocked is correct here. As per the rules of 'all', all is placed between helping verb and main verb.
