Key Points

• The simple present tense is used when an action is happening right now, to state or ask about things in general, or when it happens regularly or unceasingly.
• The structure is given below:
  • Subject + V1 + object.
• The verb will take 's/es' if the given noun/pronoun (3rd person) is singular.
• Example:
  • ​He plays badminton daily.
• In the given sentence, we need a simple present verb tense as a general statement has been given here.
• Since 'journal' is a singular noun, the singular verb i.e., 'appears' will be used.

Correct Sentence: This journal appears twice a month.

 ​​​​Additional Information

  • ​See, think, know, possess, like, want, desire, hate, seem, imagine, etc.
• Example:

  • ​My brother owns a car. (correct)

The correct answer is 'are being felt'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate option for the given blank is 'are being felt'.
• The given sentence is in the passive voice.
• The following time expressions are commonly used with the present continuous tense: today, at present, at the moment, still, now, etc. 
  • Example: I am working on a new project now. 
• In the given sentence 'the effects' is a plural subject. Thus, a plural helping verb should be used.
• As the given sentence is in the passive voice. Hence, a passive structure should be followed.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct Sentence: The effects of the fuel price hike are being felt severely even now.

The correct answer is 'always speaks'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is in the simple present tense. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now or when it happens regularly or unceasingly.
• In the simple present tense, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in -s).
   

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

• Let's explore the other options-

  WORDS	MEANING
  had always spoken	the past perfect form of the verb
  was always speaking	the past continuous form of the verb
  is always speaking	the present continuous form of the verb

Complete Sentence: He always speaks very little when there are strangers present.

The correct answer is "closes."

Key Points

•  "Subject verb agreement" means that a singular subject (He, Riya, heart) takes a singular verb (is, goes, beats), whereas a plural subject takes a plural verb.
  • ​Example: I am, You are, He/she is, etc.
• ​If the subject is third-person singular, we must use the singular form of the verb when speaking in the present tense. Most of the time, this means adding an -s to the end of the verb. 
  • Example: She needs to catch her breath.
• In the given sentence, the subject "the shop" is a third person singular noun.
• Thus, the correct form of the base verb to use with the given subject is "closes."
• Thus, the correct sentence is :The shop closes in half an hour, so hurry up.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

The correct answer is 'has been sleeping'.

Key Points

• Let us look at the verb/tense forms of the given options - 
  • is sleeping - present continuous tense
  • was sleeping - past continuous tense
  • has been sleeping - present perfect continuous tense
  • slept - simple past tense
• From the given sentence it is evident that the child started sleeping in the past and that action is continuing.
• We use the Present Perfect Continuous tense to talk about action that started in the past and is continuing now.
• So, the correct tense form in the given blank is has been sleeping.
• Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. 
   

Complete sentence - "The child has been sleeping for the last one hour."  

The correct answer is 'had'.
Key Points

• An action that has been recently occurred is expressed in the Present Perfect Tense.
• In Present Perfect Tense, the time of the action will not be given. Here, the action is important and not the time of the action. 
• The formula for using Present Perfect Tense is: subject + has/have + V3 + object.
• Examples, 
  • She has had sickness all day.
  • I have had a lot of work in the office.
• 'had' is the v3 form of the verb 'have'.
• According to the formula and examples that are given above, 'had' will be used in the blank.
   

Complete Sentence: David has had enough problems here.

The correct answer is 'has been losing.'

Key Points
 

• The given sentence is talking about an incident that started in the past and is continuing at the present time.
• So, we need to write this sentence in the Present Perfect Continous Tense.
• The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time.
• The present perfect continuous is formed using the construction 'has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing)'.
  • Example: I have been reading War and Peace for a month now.
• ​Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.
   

​Correct sentence: The company has been losing money recently.

The correct answer is '​must be.'
 Key Points

• Let us see the meanings of the given options:
  • Must be and must not be: We use "must be" when we assume something. Its opposite is "must not be."  
    • Example: You must be having dinner.
  • "Must" is used to express obligation, give orders, and give advice. 
    • Example: All pupils must bring a packed lunch tomorrow.
  • Must have: We use "must have", "can't have" and "might have" in the same way as the present perfect - the action we are describing happened, or did not happen, in the past and is still true in the present.
    • Example: She must have left the house by now; it's nearly 11 o'clock.
• ​The given sentence talks about the assumption that his french is very good.​
• ​So, the correct answer is Option 4.
