Question

Find the most suitable option to replace the verb in bold to retain the meaning of the sentence.

This house is consisting of five rooms.

• A. Consists
• B. Consist
• C. Are consisting
• D. Has consisted

Answer 1

The correct option is A Consists

Option A is the correct answer because ‘consists’ means to be made of or formed from something, hence it is correct, because it rightly states the fact that the house consists of five rooms.

Option B is incorrect because consist means to contain, but it cannot be followed by an “of” to define a statement.

Option C is incorrect because ‘are consisting’ means that the house doesn’t consist of them yet, but is in the process of consisting, which makes no sense.

Option D is incorrect because “has consisted” means the house has consisted five rooms in the past and doesn’t consist then anymore which is totally incorrect.
