Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    We ____ (think) about going for a picnic.

    • A.

      Is thinking

    • B.

      Are thinking

    Correct Answer
    B. Are thinking
    Explanation
    The verb "think" is being used in the present continuous tense to indicate an action that is happening at the present moment. Since the subject of the sentence is "we," which is a plural pronoun, the correct form of the verb to use is "are thinking."

      Are beating

    • B.

      Is beating

    Correct Answer
    B. Is beating
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "is beating" because it agrees with the subject "Mother's heart" which is singular. In this sentence, we are referring to the heartbeat of the mother, which is a singular action. Therefore, we use the singular form of the verb "beat" which is "is beating."

    Correct Answer
    A. Is listening
    Explanation

    Correct Answer
    B. Are picking
    Explanation

    Explanation
