Question

Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence:

Thus he ______(make) others work.

• A. makes
• B. is making
• C. had made
• D. had been working

Answer 1

The correct option is A makes

Option A is the correct answer because according to the statement, his influence makes the others to work, hence it is correct to say that he makes others work as it is in the simple present tense.

Option B is incorrect because ‘is making’ means that he is making them work only in the present, and not on a regular basis.

Option C and D are incorrect because they are in past tense while the statement is in the present tense.
