Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

Meenakshi sweeps the ball excellently when she ______ an off-spin delivery.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. gets. 

  • This choice is correct because it indicates a habitual action that occurs regularly or repeatedly.
  • The present simple tense 'gets' typically denotes routine actions or universal truths. Here, it implies that Meenakshi habitually executes an excellent sweep shot whenever she encounters an off-spin delivery.
  • The alternatives - 'will get,' 'has got,' and 'has got' - suggest a future action, denote possession, or employ the present perfect tense, respectively. None of these are appropriate for expressing a habitual action in the present tense.
