On my friend’s farm, they . . . . . . . . an alarm clock because the cockerel . . . . . . . . at five o’clock every morning without fail.

don't need/crows
haven't needed/was crowing
won't have needed/has crowed
wont need/is crowing E. didn't need/will crow

The correct answer is: A. don’t need/crows

The cockerel crows at five o’clock every morning without fail. This means that the cockerel is a reliable source of waking up time, and the people on the farm don’t need an alarm clock.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the situation.

needed/was crowing, is incorrect because it implies that the cockerel used to crow at five o’clock every morning, but no longer does.
  • Option C, won’t have needed/has crowed, is incorrect because it implies that the cockerel will have crowed at five o’clock every morning in the past, but will not do so in the future.
  • Option D, wont need/is crowing, is incorrect because it implies that the cockerel is currently crowing, but will not do so in the future.
  • Option E, didn’t need/will crow, is incorrect because it implies that the cockerel did not need to crow in the past, but will need to do so in the future.
