Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. How long will she ________ in London? A. being staying B. stays C. to stay D. stay

being staying
stays
to stay
stay

The correct answer is “stay”.

“Being staying” is not a grammatically correct phrase. “Stays” is the present tense of the verb “to stay”, but it does not make sense in this context. “To stay” is the infinitive form of the verb, but it also does not make sense in this context. The only option that makes sense is “stay”, which is the simple present tense of the verb “to stay”. This means that the sentence is asking how long she will be staying in London.
