Question

Select suitable verb to complete the sentence:

Paul is a singer. He sings songs written by other people but he ____ his own songs as well.

• A. sings
• B. writes
• C. makes
• D. gets

Answer 1

The correct option is B writes

The correct answer is Option B.

We know from the sentence that Paul is a singer and he sings songs written by other people. The second part of the sentence conveys to us that not only does he sing songs written by other people but also writes his own songs. Thus from the context of the sentence, WRITES is the correct word.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

Option A: SINGS is irrelevant because we already know Paul is a singer. It cannot be repeated in the second sentence.

Options C & D: SINGS and GETS are incorrect verbs in the context of the given sentence.
