Question

Fill in the blanks with appropriate words:
Urvashi _____ fiction. She is a _____
a) Writes, writer
b) Writer, writes
c) Wrote, writer
d) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Verbs are action words or a verb is a part of a sentence that tells what the subject performs. For example, run, walk, eat, play etc. Verbs have three forms: First form of the verb, Second form of the verb and Third form of the verb. For example, sing ,sang and sung.

Noun: A word that names a person, place, animal, things, an idea or action is called a noun. Examples: Aruna, Canada, Rabbit, glass, justice or writing.

Complete answer:
The first blank requires a present tense of the verb, the second blank requires a noun.
>Option A) Writes, writer is the correct answer as this is the perfect blend of both the verb and the noun. Urvashi is the subject (and where he, she, it or a name is the subject) verbs can end in “s” or “es” so writes will come in the first blank. And in noun form writers will come because something is done or performed. So, the answer is Urvashi writes fiction. She is a writer.
>Option B) Writer, writes is an incorrect answer because in the given sentence we are supposed to fill first blank with present tense of the verb and second blank with the noun. So writer is a noun and writes in the present tense of the verb. However, it does not fit the sentence.
>Option C) Wrote, writer is an incorrect answer because wrote is the second form of the verb. However, we need to present tense of the verb with a noun. Thus, wrote, writer does not go with the answer.
>Option D) None of the above is an incorrect answer because as we know how grammar is used to complete the sentence.

Note: In such a type of question it is important to understand the proper usage of the verb in the sentence.
