My mother has a petted Rhode Island Red rooster.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. has a pet.
"Has a pet" is a suitable option.
It is a suitable answer as it describes having a pet and agrees with the singular subject in the present tense.
Compared to other options:
"Have a pet": The phrase "have a pet" is inappropriate as it does not relate to the singular subject "My mur." To agree with the single subject, it should say "has a pet."
"Had a petting": It is not appropriate in this situation and is not a typical way to indicate possession, thus it is wrong.
"No improvement": It is wrong as the statement is already grammatically flawed.
