C

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Can you explain why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Read the sentence out loud and put each word in the space, which one sounds the best?

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Ya, C makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK then.

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

Thanks :)

Your Welcome, if you need anymore help just let me know.

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

I will, thanks.

Actually, the answer is A.) because there are multiple "kittens" meaning the the word "kittens" is plural. Therefore it has to be matched with a plural verb. In this case... the plural verb from the 3 options is "crawl", while "crawls" is singular and would connect with the "kitten". *^.^*

OpenStudy (lovelyanna):

I thought it was something like that, thanks @arabpride :)

OpenStudy (arabpride):

You're Very Welcome *^.^*
