Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
Now, they _______ in a house in Queen Square in central London.

• A. lives
• B. have lived
• C. lived
• D. live

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

live

Answer : D

Explanation :

The sentence is in present tense as indicated by the word "Now".

And thus to correctly complete the sentence we have to use the present tense of the verb.

"Live" and "Lives" both are present forms.

The difference is:

We use "Lives" along with "he" / "she" / "it"

We use "Live" along with "I" / "you" / "we" / "they"

Thus the grammatically correct alternative is "live".

Therefore the correct complete sentence is:

Now, they LIVE in a house in Queen Square in central London.
