Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.Q. There are two pens here ...
Answer:
The correct answer is option 'C' - either writes.
Explanation:
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the given sentence and identify the appropriate verb form to use.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
The subject of the sentence is "two pens," which is plural. Therefore, the verb that follows should be in the plural form as well.
Present Tense:
The sentence is talking about the current state of the pens. Therefore, we need to use the present tense verb form.
Verb Conjugation:
The verb "write" needs to be conjugated to agree with the subject "two pens" in the present tense.
Options Analysis:
a) either have written
This option uses the past participle form "have written," which is incorrect because the sentence is in the present tense.
b) either wrote well
This option uses the past tense form "wrote," which is incorrect because the sentence is in the present tense.
c) either writes
This option uses the correct present tense form "writes" to agree with the subject "two pens."
d) No improvement
This option suggests that the original sentence is already correct, but it is not. The verb form needs to be changed to agree with the subject in the present tense.
Conclusion:
Based on the subject-verb agreement, present tense requirement, and verb conjugation, the correct answer is option 'C' - either writes. This choice correctly uses the present tense form of the verb "write" to match the plural subject "two pens."
