Which of the following is the past participle of the verb "to bake"?

  1. baked

  2. bake

  3. bakes

  4. baking

The correct answer is: baked

The past participle of the verb "to bake" is "baked." The past participle is used to form perfect tenses and is usually created by adding -ed to the base form of regular verbs. In this case, "bake" is the base form, and adding -ed results in "baked." This form is utilized in sentences such as "I have baked a cake," where it indicates a completed action that has relevance to the present. The other options represent different forms of the verb: "bake" is the base form, "bakes" is the third person singular present form, and "baking" is the present participle, which indicates an ongoing action.
