    Finish

    • Finishes

    • Finishs

    Correct Answer
    A. Finishes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "finishes". This is the correct form of the verb "finish" in the third person singular present tense. In English grammar, when a verb is used with he, she, it, or a singular noun, it usually takes an -es or -s ending. Therefore, "finishes" is the correct form of the verb for this sentence.

    Have

    • Haves

    • Has

    Correct Answer
    A. Has

    Fly

    • Flys

    • Flies

    Correct Answer
    A. Flies
    Explanation
    The word "flies" is the correct answer because it is the correct plural form of the word "fly". In English, when a noun ends in a consonant followed by a "y", the "y" is usually changed to "i" and "es" is added to form the plural. Therefore, "flies" is the appropriate plural form of "fly".
