B. To wear
C. Wearing
D. Wears

Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is right only if it is in the right tense. Choose the option wisely so that it is in the right tense making the sentence grammatically right. Repeat the sentence a few times after fitting in each option to make sure the option chosen sounds sensible.

Complete answer:
Option A) Wear - ‘She wear a uniform’ is not right grammatically. Hence this option is inappropriate.

Option B) To wear - ‘She to wear a uniform’ does not make sense as a sentence. Hence this option is inappropriate.

Option C) Wearing - ‘She wearing a uniform’ does not make sense as a sentence. Hence this option is inappropriate.

Option D) Wears - ‘She wears a uniform’ makes sense to the sentence. It is in the right tense and is grammatically correct. Hence this option is the right answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note:Verbs indicate the timing of an event whether it is in past, present or future tense. Past tense indicates an event which has already happened. Present tense indicates an event which is happening in the present. Future tense indicates an event which will happen in the future. In the above sentence ‘wears’ is used making the sentence simple present tense form. If there was an option with ‘wore’, that would also be appropriate making the sentence a simple past tense form. Option (A) is also in simple present tense form, but it is used when a person is talking about his/herself. If a person is indicating someone else, then ‘wears’ comes into action. Option (B) is in infinitive form. Infinitive is nothing but ‘to + verb’. It is grammatically wrong when placed in this sentence. Option (C) is in present participle form. Present participle is the form of a verb ending with -ing.
