Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.
Ramya _______ (be) a student of Class 12 this year.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → is
Complete sentence: Ramya is a student of Class 12 this year. "Ramya" is one person, so she is singular, and "this year" tells us the sentence is about the present.
| Option | Form and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) was | the past form of be. It is used for the past. It does not fit with "this year" | Ramya was a student of Class 11 last year. |
| (2) is (answer) | the present form of be, for one person or thing. It shows something true now | My brother is the captain of the school team this year. |
| (3) being | the -ing form. It cannot be the main verb by itself. It needs a helping verb, as in "is being" | He is being very patient with the new students. |
| (4) be | the base form. It comes after words like will, must or to. It does not come straight after a subject like "Ramya" | She will be a student of Class 12 next year. |
