We should always _________ our best to help others.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. do.

Context:
The sentence is in the simple present tense and expresses a general truth or advice.
Hence, the verb should also be in the base form — “do.”

Meaning of the words:

  • Done: past participle form; used with “have” (e.g., have done).

  • Do: base form of the verb; used for general statements.

  • Did: past tense form; used for actions already completed.

  • Does: used with singular subjects (he/she/it).

Correct word:
Do — because the subject “we” is plural and the sentence expresses a general rule or habit.

Reason:
The phrase “do our best” means to make the greatest possible effort.

Final Sentence:
We should always do our best to help others.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
