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 indicates that the process of her turning into a legend is ongoing. Present continuous tense is a tense that describes an ongoing action in the present. Thus, the correct answer will be in the present continuous tense.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question-
Option (a.), 'became', refers to simple past tense. Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as we need the answer in the present continuous tense.
Option (b.), ‘become', refers to simple present tense. Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as we need the answer in the present continuous tense.
Option (c.), ‘becoming', refers to present continuous tense. Therefore, option (c.) is correct.
Option (d.), ‘becamed', refers to a grammatically incorrect word.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as the past tense form of ‘become’ is ‘became’ and not ‘becamed’, and because we need the answer in the present continuous tense.

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.
