Select the most appropriate verb form to fill in the blank.
Arun __________ his bicycle to school every day.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. rides.
Explanation:
-
The sentence talks about an action that happens regularly ; 'every day' which means it is in the simple present tense.
-
The subject is Arun (third-person singular), so the verb in the present tense must take an -s: rides.
Why other options are incorrect:
-
Rode: Past tense; does not match the present time expression 'every day'.
-
Riding: Present participle; needs an auxiliary verb (e.g., is riding).
-
Ride: Base form; not correct without an auxiliary for third person singular.
Final Sentence: Arun rides his bicycle to school every day.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
