    • Walk

    • Walks

    • Walked

    • Had been walk

    Correct Answer
    A. Walks
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Walks" because the sentence is in the present tense and the subject "he" is a third-person singular pronoun. In the present tense, when the subject is a third-person singular pronoun (he, she, it), the verb form should end in -s.

    • Floating

    • Float

    • Floats

    Correct Answer
    A. Floats
    Explanation
    The word "floats" is the correct answer because it is the only option that fits grammatically in the sentence. The sentence is describing wood and its behavior on water, indicating that wood has the ability to float. Therefore, the correct verb to complete the sentence is "floats."

    Correct Answer
    A. Don’t
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Don't". In this sentence, the speaker is using the conditional clause "If you drop the gun" to indicate a hypothetical situation. They are stating that if the person drops the gun, they will shoot. The correct response to this situation would be to not drop the gun, hence "Don't".

    Correct Answer
    A. Comes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Comes" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "come" in the present tense for the third person singular (he/she/it). Since "bus" is a singular noun, we use "comes" instead of "come" or "came."
