Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word with the help of the hint in the brackets.
Samuel says he's 25 years old, but nobody ___ him. (It's a fact)

• A. is believing
• B. believes
• C. had believed
• D. don't believe
• E. doesn't believe

Answer 1

The correct option is B believes

Option B is the correct answer because "believes" is the third person simple present form of 'believe' which means to have faith in, and is used as a singular form.

Option A is incorrect because "is believing" means an action in the present moment, which is incorrect because a fact is stated in the simple present tense.

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

Option D is incorrect because 'nobody don't believe' , two negatives make a positive which means people believe in him which changes the sentence.

Option E is incorrect for same reasons as D.
