- A. Cleaned
Why not A: Incorrect. “Cleaned” generally means removing dirt or impurities, but it is not the natural collocation with “tears.”
- B. Cleared
Why not B: Incorrect. “Cleared” means removing an obstruction or making something free from something, but we do not normally say “cleared the tears.”
- C. Wiped ✓
- D. . Erased
Why not D: Incorrect. “Erased” is normally used for removing writing, marks, or recorded information, not tears.
Correct answer
C. Wiped
Explanation
The correct answer is “wiped” because we use “wipe” when removing tears, water, or another substance from a surface. The natural expression is “The mother wiped the child's tears.”
