Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
In Britain people _____ on the right.

• A. are driving
• B. drives
• C. drive
• D. drove

Answer 1

The correct option is C drive

Option C is the correct answer because here, "drive" is used as a third person present verb form of "drive", but as the "people" are being spoken about it is in the plural, hence "drive" is correct.

"Drives" would be correct if the statement was, a person drives on the right.

Option A is incorrect because although the statement is in the present, "is driving" means only the correct moment while the statement is being made which is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect, explanation in option A.

Option D is incorrect because it is in the past tense while the statement is in the present tense.
