Question 33

The pack of wolves is running through the forest.

The sentence correctly uses "is" to indicate that the action of running is currently taking place. This present tense form aligns with the ongoing activity of the pack of wolves.

A) Are

"Are" would be incorrect in this context because it is the plural form of the verb "to be" used with plural subjects. Since "the pack" is a collective noun treated as singular, "are" does not fit grammatically.

B) Were

"Were" is the past tense form of "to be," which would suggest that the action of running has already occurred. Since the sentence describes a current action, "were" is not appropriate.

C) Is

"Is" is the correct choice as it indicates that the pack of wolves is actively running at this moment. The present tense verb agrees with the singular collective noun "pack."

D) Be

"Be" is the base form of the verb and does not fit within the structure of the sentence. It cannot function properly in this context where a tense is needed to describe an ongoing action.

Conclusion

The correct answer "is" effectively conveys the present action of the pack of wolves running through the forest. All other options fail to accurately reflect the tense or grammatical structure necessary for the sentence, reinforcing the importance of verb agreement with the subject.
