Proper nouns refer to specific names of people, places, or things. In this sentence, "London" is a proper noun.

 "Somebody" is singular, so the correct pronoun should be "his or her."

The sentence that uses the correct form of the verb is: She has swum across the lake every summer.

Here's the breakdown of why the other options are incorrect:

• Sentence 2: "He had swim in the pool yesterday."

  • Issue: The correct past participle form of "swim" is "swum" when used in the past perfect tense. The sentence should be: "He had swum in the pool yesterday."

• Sentence 3: "Swimming in the ocean seems relaxing."

  • Issue: This sentence uses "swimming," which is a gerund (a verb form used as a noun), not a finite verb form.

• Sentence 4: "They were swim in the river earlier."

  • Issue: The correct form should be "swimming" instead of "swim" to form the past progressive tense correctly. The sentence should be: "They were swimming in the river earlier."

Therefore, the correct answer is still: She has swum across the lake every summer.

Predicting (Verb): say something that will happen in future.
