Question

The cat _____ the mice. (Fill up the blank choosing the right word)

• A. Eat
• B. Eats
• C. Eating
• D. Eaten

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Eats

• The subject "the cat" is singular, so the verb must agree in the singular form ("eats").

• "Eat" is plural and does not match.

• "Eating" would need an auxiliary verb (e.g., is eating).

• "Eaten" is the past participle and would also require an auxiliary verb (e.g., has eaten).
