B) sits
C) sitting
D) sat
Answer: B) sits
Explanation: The correct form here is ‘sits’ because it is a simple present tense that indicates a habitu al action or a state of being. The subject ‘the cat’ is singular, so we use the third-person singular form of the verb.

The little girl was elated when she received her birthday gift.
A) sad
B) excited
C) angry
D) tired

C. us
D. ours
Answer: B. our
Explanation: Possessive adjectives are used to show ownership. In this case, “our” is the correct choice because it shows that the book belongs to us.
