Question

Choose the correct word or phrase that completes the sentence correctly.

He cannot meet the classes today because he ____.

• A. is ill
• B. have illness
• C. had been sick
• D. will be ill

Answer 1

The correct option is A is ill

Since the sentence is in the simple present tense, option A, 'is ill' is the correct answer. Also, the adjective 'ill' correctly modifies the pronoun 'he'.

Option B is grammatically incorrect because in the phrase 'he have illness', the pronoun 'he' should be followed by the verb 'has'.

Options C and D are incorrect because they are not in the simple present tense form.
