Answer 1

Hint:Correct use of tenses and verbs can help to solve this type of questions. Tense is a category in grammar that expresses time reference. Tenses, particularly in their conjugation patterns, are typically manifested by the use of particular forms of verbs. The past, present, and future are the key tenses used in many languages. On the other hand A verb, meaning word, from the Latin verbum, is a word that conveys an action, an event, or a state of being in syntax. The fundamental form, with or without the particle, is the infinitive in the normal English definition. Verbs are inflected in many languages to codify tense, aspect, mood and expression.

Complete answer:
"\"Somebody\ "is an indefinite pronoun that often takes the singular form. The verb to be used here must therefore also be in the singular form." The \'have\ 'choice is incorrect because it reflects the plural form. The D \'are\ 'alternative is incorrect because it also reflects the plural form. Choice C \'is\ 'can\'t be used when the expression is perfect in the present.
For example, it can be used in present continuous form. Someone calls you. For example, or future continuous. Someone is going to win the lottery ticket.

Additional Information:
The Present Perfect Tense is formed using the following structure:
Affirmative: Subject + Have / Has + Past Participle.
Definition of perfect tense in the present- The ideal present is used to suggest an association between the present and the past. The time of the action is not defined before this, and we are sometimes more interested in the outcome than in the action itself.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’

Note:To solve this type of questions we need to have basic understanding of tenses and other grammatical rules otherwise these questions can go wrong.
