Explanation

The correct answer is "tries" because the sentence is in present tense and the subject "Liam" is a third-person singular pronoun.

Therefore, "tries" is the correct form of the verb "try" to agree with the subject "Liam".

The correct answer is "has changed". This is because the sentence is referring to the period of time from the early 1980s until the present, and the verb "change" needs to be in the present perfect tense to indicate an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The contraction "'s" is not appropriate in this context.

Explanation

Adding "ed" to the end of a verb is a common way to form the past tense in English. In this case, the verb "study" is being transformed into its past tense form. Therefore, when "ed" is added to "study," it becomes "studied." This indicates that the action of studying has already taken place in the past.

Submit
17. Hope + ed =

Explanation

The word "hope" is a verb in its base form. When we add the suffix "-ed" to the end of the base form, it indicates the past tense of the verb. Therefore, "hoped" is the correct past tense form of the verb "hope."

Submit
19. Study + ing

Explanation

Explanation

When the verb "die" is combined with the suffix "-ing", it forms the present participle "dying". This form is used to indicate that the action of dying is currently happening or ongoing.

Explanation

The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that was completed in the recent past.
