1. Select the correct verb tense
Step1: Analyze the time reference
The phrase “this season” indicates an action that started in the past and continues to the present. The present perfect tense (has/have + past participle) is used for such actions.
Step2: Check each option
- “had won” is past perfect (used for an action before another past action). There is no such context here.
- “has won” (present perfect) fits as it shows the team's winning from the start of the season (past) up to now.
- “will have won” is future perfect (action will be completed before a future time). The season games are in the present - ongoing context.
Step1: Identify the subject - verb agreement
The subject “Lily and Lota” is plural. The verb “talks” is singular (third - person singular form). The past - tense form for a plural subject should be “talked” (since the time reference is “yesterday” - past).
Step2: Rewrite the sentence
Replace “talks” with “talked”.
Step1: Analyze the relationship in “weak: strength”
“Weak” is an adjective that describes the lack of “strength” (a noun). The relationship is adjective : related noun (where the adjective shows the absence or opposite of a quality represented by the noun).
Step2: Check each option
- a) “silly: comedy” - “silly” can be a characteristic of “comedy”, but it's not an absence - of - quality relationship.
- b) “mean: friends” - “mean” is not related to “friends” in an absence - of - quality (like the given pair).
- c) “brave: courage” - “brave” is an adjective that shows the presence of “courage” (noun). This is the opposite of the given pair's relationship.
- d) “lost: confusion” - “lost” (adjective) can imply a state of “confusion” (noun) in the sense of lacking direction (similar to “weak” lacking “strength” in a more abstract way).
