Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

He used to visit us every week, but he _____ now.

• A. rarely comes
• B. is rarely coming
• C. has rarely come
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A rarely comes

The sentence is in simple present tense with a singular subject.
"Rarely comes" in option A is correct as it indicates the singular verb for the singular subject 'He'. The verb is also in tense agreement with the sentence as both are in simple present tense.
"Is rarely coming" in option B is incorrect as this is not in tense agreement with the sentence.
"Has rarely come" is incorrect as the verb takes the form of past perfect tense. This does not agree with the tense of the given sentence.
As option A is correct, option D is void.
