Question

Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb:
College students _________ usually wear a uniform.
a) Don’t
b) Didn’t
c) Aren’t
d) Haven’t

Answer 1

Hint: A verb is a content word that denotes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. A verb is the word class that serves as the predicate of a sentence.

Complete answer:
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options given to us is suitable for a sentence which states a general rule and is thus in the present tense.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question-
Option (a.), 'don’t', refers to ‘Contraction of do not; the negative form of carrying out or performing an action.’Therefore, option (a.) is correct as it is in the present tense and also describes how college students don’t carry out the action of wearing uniforms in general.
Option (b.), ‘didn’t', refers to past tense. Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as we need the answer in the present tense.
Option (c.), ‘aren’t', refers to ‘(colloquial) Are not; the negative form of having the quality of being’.Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as it is not relevant to the context of the students as students cannot be uniforms.
Option (d.), ‘haven’t', refers to ‘have not; the negative form of having or possessing, either in a concrete or an abstract sense.’Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as ownership or possession is not being discussed her.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of tense. Tense is a grammatical category of verbs used to express distinctions of time. There are three tenses- past, present, and future.
