    Question


    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
    You should take your car in for a service because it has starting to make weird noises.

    A.

    because it had starting to make weird noises

    B.

    because it has start to make weird noises

    C.

    No substitution

    D.

    because it's starting to make weird noises

    Correct option is D

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) because it's starting to make weird noises.
    Explanation: The original segment "has starting" is grammatically incorrect. The correct present continuous tense form requires the verb “to be” (is/are) + verb-ing. Hence, “it’s starting” (it is starting) is correct.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    Present continuous tense = Subject + is/are/am + V1 + ing
    Example: She is writing a letter.
    Information Booster: “Has starting” is incorrect because “has” requires a past participle (started), not a present participle (starting). For ongoing action, present continuous is the correct tense.
