Question

Fill the gap with the most appropriate option from the list following the gap.

Sa'adatu as well as the maids _____ ?

Options

A)
like Plantain chips
B)
are liking Plantain chips
C)
is liking plantain chips
D)
likes plantain chips

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The question is asking you to choose the most appropriate option to fill the gap in the sentence. The sentence is talking about Sa'adatu and the maids. You need to choose the option that fits grammatically and makes sense in the sentence.

The sentence is in the present tense, so you need to choose an option that is also in the present tense. The correct option is "likes plantain chips". This is because "Sa'adatu as well as the maids" is a singular subject, so the verb needs to be singular too. "Likes" is the singular form of the verb.

The other options are not correct because they are either in the wrong tense or do not agree with the subject of the sentence. For example, option B "are liking plantain chips" is in the present continuous tense, which is not appropriate for this sentence.

Remember to pay attention to subject-verb agreement and tense when choosing the correct option for a sentence.
