Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. offers.

Context: The sentence talks about what the company currently does — it is a present fact. So, we need a verb in simple present tense.

Meaning of the words:


offers – gives or provides something (present tense, singular)
offering – continuous form, used with “is/are”
offered – past tense
offer – base form, used with plural subjects like “they”

Correct word: offers is the correct word because “Wander Trust” is a singular subject, and we use offers with singular nouns in present tense.

Reason: The sentence says: “Wander Trust offers domestic and international trips.”
This shows what the company regularly or generally does. Other options do not fit the subject-verb agreement or the tense.

Final Sentence: Wander Trust is a unique travel company that offers domestic and international trips.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
