Question

Fill in blank [6] with an appropriate option:

• A. is
• B. was
• C. will be
• D. should

Answer 1

The correct option is A is

Looking at the picture, we have to fill up the sixth blank. Since the entire passage is in the present tense, we must fill up this blank with the same tense only. The sixth blank requires an auxiliary verb, so let's have a look at the options.

Option B - 'Was' is an auxiliary, which is used for past tense. As we require an auxiliary verb that is used in the present tense, option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Will be' is an auxiliary verb, which is used for future tense. As we require an auxiliary verb that is used in present tense, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Should' is a modal verb, which is used to express possibility. We need an auxiliary verb and not a modal verb, hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'Is' is an auxiliary verb and is used for present tense. 'The boy with long hair is Billu' is grammatically correct. Hence, option A is correct.
