Question

The small child does whatever his father _____

• A. has done
• B. had done
• C. does
• D. did

Answer 1

Answer:

C. does

The subject of the sentence, "The small child," is third-person singular, so the verb must also be third-person singular. "Does" is the third-person singular form of the verb "do". "Has done" refers to something completed in the recent past. "Had done" refers to an action completed before another past action. "Did" refers to a past action, but here we need the present tense to match the ongoing action of the father.
