She aren't believe in wasting time during working hours.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Error in Original Sentence: "aren't" is the plural form of the verb "to be" and cannot be used with a singular subject like "She." Furthermore, "aren't" would require a present participle (believing) rather than the base form (believe).
Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject of the sentence is "She," which is a third-person singular pronoun. In the simple present tense, singular subjects require the auxiliary verb "does" for negation.
Verb Form: In a negative sentence using "do/does/did," the main verb must be in its base form (infinitive without 'to'). Therefore, "believe" is correct, while "believes" (used in option 3) is not.
Therefore, the correct option to replace the underlined part is ‘doesn't believe’.
