    Question

    Select the alternative that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence. In case there is no improvement required, select "No improvement".
    Mr. Jain is a bus driver. Every day he get up at 5 am.

    A.

    gets up

    B.

    No improvement

    C.

    getting up

    D.

    got up

    Correct option is A


    The correct replacement is (a) gets up.
    Explanation:
    · The subject "he" is third-person singular.
    · In present simple tense, the verb must take an –s: gets up
    · "Every day" indicates a habitual action, which calls for present simple tense.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    For third-person singular subjects (he, she, it), the verb in present simple tense ends with –s/es.
    He gets up at 5 am.
    Incorrect: He get up at 5 am.
