Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Starts.

  • As 'apartment' is a singular subject, it requires a singular verb.
  • Also, the passage is in the present tense.
  • Considering the above conditions, 'starts' or 'is starting' seem appropriate.
  • Since there is no continuity of the action, continuous tense is not appropriate.
  • 'Starts' is the appropriate word.

As the chosen option provides a meaningful sentence it will be correct.
