The sun _ in the east.
Correct answer: B. Rises
- A. Rise
- B. Rises
- C. Rose
- D. Risen
Explanation
The movement of the sun is continuous; hence motion should be described in a continuous tense. 'Rise' is grammatically incorrect when the sentence is said out loud, and 'rose' and 'risen ' are in the past tense. Hence 'rises,' which is the continuous tense, is correct.
