OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why do you think it is C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Hello, \(\Large\bf\color{blueviolet}{Welcome~to}\color{cyan}{Open}\color{lime}{Study!}\) This is all about tenses... Try saying them out loud, then tell me which one sounds the most correct to you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c does

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Well, if you take a closer look, the word "reads" is in the present-progressive tense while the rest of the sentence is in the past tense (as shown by the word "yesterday".)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is not C

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Do you have another guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d or a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer d uses the incorrect transfer word, it should not be "Dad and i is" it should be "Dad and i are"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what do you think the answer is?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

So, what does that leave you with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Plus, D should actually be "were."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer B uses the wrong tense

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

For B: Cathy is one person, so it should be was rather than were.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

keeping to the first question, the answer would be what?
