A. Yes
B. No

Answer 1

Hint: Tense is a time relation category in grammar. Time typically manifests through the use, particularly in their conjugation patterns, of unique types of verbs. Past, present and future are the key tenses used in many languages. And further, they are divided as SImple, Continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous.

Complete answer:
Modern linguistic theory understands tenderness as a category that conveys time reference, i.e., a category which positions a state or action in time via grammatical methods. However, the term "tense" in many language descriptions, in particular in traditional European grammar, is used to describe verb forms and constructions expressing not just the location in time, but other characteristics of the state or action, especially aspect or modality characteristics.

The past tense is a grammatical tense, the purpose of which is to put an event in the past. For example, the English verbs sang, went and washed are stated as the past verbs.

Here the given word is “Set” and we need to tell whether its past tense is “Set” or not.
The past tense of “set” is “set”.

Here, let us take an example:
Set means to put, lay or stand in a particular fixed position.
Ex: “The ice cubs were set in a heart-shaped mold.”
As you can see, the sentence is in the past tense (were) and the word “set” did not change. Therefore, The past tense of the word “set” is “set” and the past participle of “set” is also ”set”.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note:
- We usually add -ed to most of the verbs to make it a past tense verb. For instance - book: booked or stop: stopped.
- We use the simple past tense to state that an event started in the past and it ended in the past as well. (e.g., three years back, the day before, yesterday, last week).
