Help the lost hiker finish his sarcastic journal entry about his friend's navigation skills. Choose the correct words to complete the sentences.
By the time the storm hit, I realized it was no use looking for the trail on a map that Bob was holding upside down. I also told him that there was no point in arguing about whose fault it was.
By the time the storm hit, I realized it was no use looking for the trail on a map that Bob was holding upside down.
Since the story is in the past tense ("the storm hit", "I realized"), we need the past tense "was". The expression "it was no use" requires a gerund ("looking").
I also told him that there was no point in arguing about whose fault it was.
The expression "there's no point" is followed by the preposition "in" and a gerund ("arguing").
