The correct answer is "being." Here's an explanation of why this is the case:

  • The sentence "It _____ a hot day, we remained in the tent" indicates that something occurred due to the situation described. In English, when showing cause or reason for an action in a sentence like this, the gerund form "being" is often used.

  • The word "being" acts as a participle here, linking the two parts of the sentence and showing that the action of staying in the tent was because it was a hot day. The phrase "being a hot day" correctly expresses the condition that led to the action that followed.

Now let's look at the other options and why they are incorrect:

  1. be: The infinitive form "be" would not fit in this context because it doesn't express the continuous or causal relationship between the two clauses. It would create an awkward and incomplete sentence structure.

  2. was: While "was" is the past tense of "be," using it here would result in a grammatically incorrect sentence. "It was a hot day, we remained in the tent" would imply two independent facts rather than a cause-and-effect relationship. "Being" makes the sentence flow more smoothly, showing that the hot day was the reason for remaining in the tent.

  3. having: "Having" would typically suggest possession or a past action and does not work in this sentence. It would make the sentence grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand.

Thus, being is the best option, as it properly links the hot day as the reason for staying in the tent.
