Study
Correct Answer
A. StudiesExplanation
The correct answer is "studies". This is because the word "she" is a third-person singular pronoun, and when using present simple tense with third-person singular subjects, we add an 's' to the verb. Therefore, the correct form of the verb "study" in this sentence is "studies".Rate this question:

Worry
-
Worries

Worrying

Worried
Correct Answer
A. WorryExplanation
The given correct answer is "worry". This is because the sentence is in the present tense and requires a verb that matches the subject "they". "Worry" is the correct present tense form of the verb, while "worries" is the third person singular form and does not match the subject. "Worrying" is a present participle form and "worried" is the past tense form, both of which are not appropriate for the present tense sentence.Rate this question:
