______ she ______ soccer? - No, she ______ volley.
- A.

- B.
Does / plays / play
- C.
Does / play / play
- D.
Does / play / plays
Correct Answer
D. Does / play / playsExplanation
The question is asking whether she plays soccer. In order to form a question with the third person singular subject "she," we need to use the auxiliary verb "does" followed by the base form of the main verb "play." Therefore, the correct question form is "Does she play soccer?" The answer to this question is "No," indicating that she does not play soccer. Instead, she plays volley. Since "she" is a third person singular subject, we use the base form of the main verb "play" without adding an "s" at the end. Therefore, the correct answer is "Does / play / plays."Rate this question:
