Rashi . . . . . . . . the newspaper every morning on the train. A. read B. reads C. is reading D. red

The correct answer is: B. reads

The sentence is in the present tense, so the verb “read” should be conjugated in the present tense as well. The other options are incorrect because they are not in the present tense.

• A. read is the past tense of the verb “read.”
• C. is reading is the present progressive tense of the verb “read.”
• D. red is the past participle of the verb “read.”

The sentence is about a habit that Rashi does every morning, so the present tense is the most appropriate tense to use.
