Question

Fill in blank [9] with a suitable tense form:

• A. Wear
• B. Is wearing
• C. Wears
• D. Has been wearing

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Is wearing

Option A - 'Wear' is the plural form of the verb which can be used with a plural subject only. It is used to describe the sentence in simple present tense and not in the present continuous tense. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option C - 'Wears' is the singular form of the verb which can be used with a singular subject only. As we need the sentence in present continuous tense, we can't use the verb in its singular form. Hence, option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Has been wearing' is used to describe a sentence in the present perfect continuous tense. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option B - 'Is wearing' is grammatically correct as it has the auxiliary 'is' which denotes present tense and 'wearing' is the participle form of the verb which denotes continuous tense. 'Is wearing' is used to define a sentence in the present continuous tense. Thus option B is the correct answer.

'She is wearing a striped dress.'
