You always _ late for class!
Correct answer: A. Are
- A. Are
- B. Were
- C. Is
- D. Have been
Explanation
The correct answer is 'are' because it is the present tense form of the verb 'to be' that matches the subject 'you'. The word 'always' suggests a habitual action, which is typically expressed using the present tense in English. 'Were' is past tense, which does not fit the context. 'Is' does not agree with the plural subject 'you'. 'Have been' implies a different aspect (present perfect continuous) that is not appropriate for the sentence structure and meaning.
