Question

Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
If I hand her a flower and say, “Give it to mamma,” she take it to her mother.

A.

was taking it

B.

takes it

C.

had took it

D.

had taken it

Correct option is B


The most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment "she take it to her mother" is "she takes it to her mother" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
· Present Simple Tense: The sentence is in the present simple tense, which is used for habitual actions or general truths. Therefore, the verb should be "takes" to agree with the third person singular subject "she."
Meanings of other given words:
· Was taking it: Past continuous tense, indicating an ongoing action in the past.
· Had took it: Incorrect past perfect form (the correct form is "had taken it").
· Had taken it: Past perfect tense, indicating an action completed before another past action.
· Correct sentence: If I hand her a flower and say, “Give it to mamma,” she takes it to her mother.
