B) Cooking
C) To cook
D) Cook

Answer 1

Hint: Verbs are the action words in a sentence that describe what the subject is doing. Along with nouns, verbs are the main part of a sentence or phrase, telling a story about what is taking place.

Complete step by step answer:
Option A) To cook – is an incorrect answer because the use of ’to cook’ is inappropriate in the sentence. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Cooking – is an incorrect answer because the ‘cooking’ is inappropriate in the sentence because for completing the sentence base verb is required. Thus this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) To cook – is an incorrect answer because the ‘To cook’ is inappropriate in the sentence because for completing the sentence base verb is required. However, cook is the base form of the verb cook but it is not needed for ‘to’ to make sense in the sentence. Thus this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Cook - is the correct answer because the ‘cook’ is the most appropriate in the sentence because for completing the sentence base verb is required. However, cook is the base form of the verb cook. Thus this is the correct answer.

So, the correct answer is “Option D”.

Note:
Base form of verb functions in the present tense for the first and second person singular. Thus, answering such questions it is very essential to understand the base form of the verb. As the base form of cook is cook only. Thus, Option D is the best appropriate answer as compared to any other option.
