E. They smell the roses when they're in the garden.Explanation
The correct answer choices are "She's having a glass of water," "She has read that book 3 times," and "They smell the roses when they're in the garden." These sentences contain dynamic verbs, which are verbs that describe actions or processes that can be physically observed or felt. In the first sentence, "having" is a dynamic verb because it describes the action of drinking. In the second sentence, "has read" is a dynamic verb because it describes the action of reading. In the third sentence, "smell" is a dynamic verb because it describes the action of perceiving the scent of roses.Rate this question:
