Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. Lucy often __________ red. A. wear B. is wearing C. worn D. wears

The correct answer is D. wears.

The verb “wear” is used to describe the act of putting on clothing. It is a

regular verb, which means that the past tense and past participle are formed by adding -ed to the present tense form. In this case, the present tense form is “wears,” so the past tense and past participle forms are “wore” and “worn.”

In the sentence “Lucy often wears red,” the verb “wears” is in the present tense. This is because the sentence is describing a habitual action, something that Lucy

does regularly. If the sentence were describing a single event, the verb would be in the past tense: “Lucy wore red to the party.”

The other options are incorrect because they are not the correct tense of the verb “wear.” Option A, “wear,” is the infinitive form of the verb. Option B, “is wearing,” is the present progressive tense form. Option C, “worn,” is the past participle form.

I hope this explanation is helpful!
