Answer 1

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

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'The verb form used in the given sentence is correct', refers to the question ‘How is it going on?’ as grammatically correct.
Therefore, option (a.) is correct as the job is something that is continuing in the present, thus, it is in the present continuous tense.
Option (b.), ‘The verb form used is wrong. The correct verb form is: How does it go on?', refers to ‘How is it going on?’ as grammatically incorrect.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as the given verb form in the question is correct - ‘How is it going on?’ since the job is something that is continuing in the present.
Option (c.), ‘The verb form used is wrong. The correct verb form is: How it is going on?', refers to ‘How is it going on?’ as grammatically incorrect.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as the given verb form in the question is correct - ‘How is it going on?’ since the job is something that is continuing in the present.
Option (d.), ‘The verb form used is wrong. The correct verb form is: How is it gone?', which refers to ‘How is it going on?’ as grammatically incorrect.
Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as the given verb form in the question is correct - ‘How is it going on?’ since the job is something that is continuing in the present.
