Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
This is one of the matters that ______ me the most.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. disturbs.
The most appropriate word to fill in the blank is "disturbs."
In this sentence, the subject "one of the matters" is singular, so it should be paired with a singular verb form.
"Disturbs" is the singular present tense form of the verb "to disturb," making it the correct choice to agree with the singular subject.
"Are disturbing" is plural, "has disturb" is incorrect in both tense and subject-verb agreement, and "is disturbed" is passive and does not convey the intended meaning of the subject actively causing distress.
Therefore, "disturbs" is the most suitable choice.
