Which sentence is correct?

• AShe don't likes apples
• BShe dont like apples
• CShe does not likes apples
• DShe does not like apples✓

Answer: With 'she', the correct form is 'does not' (or 'doesn't'), never 'don't' - 'don't' goes with I, you, we and they. After 'does not' the main verb stays in its plain form, so it is 'like', not 'likes'. The correct answer is the only option that gets both parts right; the others pair 'don't' with 'she', leave the apostrophe out of 'don't', or add an unnecessary '-s' to 'like'.

Choose the sentence that is complete and grammatically correct.

• ARan quickly through
• BRunning quickly through the forest on a summer morning
• CThe running athlete
• DThe athlete is running through the forest✓

Answer: A complete sentence needs a subject and a predicate. The correct answer has the subject 'The athlete' and the predicate 'is running through the forest'. The other options are fragments: one has a verb but no subject, one is a participle phrase with no main verb, and one is only a noun phrase.
