Mom and Dad, but not my brother, always buy travel-size items to pack when they travel. How should the verb buy be written in the sentence above? It is correct. buys has bought was buying

OpenStudy (aamirgsen):

It is correct

OpenStudy (aamirgsen):

the answer is correct because buys would be singular and has bought would be singular as well. "was buying" doesn't fit because it's not past tense and does not fit in the sentence.
