Let's solve each sentence by filling in the blanks with the correct
auxiliary verb or
verb form, based on subject-verb agreement, tense, and context.
Here are the sentences with explanations:
---
12. My mother _______ gone to the market.
✔ has
→ "My mother" is singular, and the present perfect tense ("has gone") is used to describe an action that happened at an unspecified time.
Answer: has
---
13. Sanchita and Rohini _______ never misbehaved in the class.
✔ have
→ "Sanchita and Rohini" is a plural subject (two people), so we use "have". The sentence uses the present perfect tense to indicate past actions relevant to the present.
Answer: have
---
14. He ______ a long beard.
✔ has
→ "He" is third person singular, so we use "has". This is simple present tense describing a current state.
Answer: has
---
15. It ______ a bushy tail.
✔ has
→ "It" refers to an animal (likely a squirrel or similar), and it's singular → "has"
Answer: has
---
16. An airplane ______ two wings.
✔ has
→ "An airplane" is singular, so we use "has" to describe a permanent feature.

17. This book ______ no answer pages.
✔ has
→ "This book" is singular → "has"
Answer: has
---
18. Those camels ______ stored water.
✔ have
→ "Those camels" is plural → "have". The sentence is in present perfect tense ("have stored") indicating completed action with relevance now.
Answer: have
---
19. Tigers ______ stripes on their heads.
✔ have
→ "Tigers" is plural → "have". Simple present tense for general truth.
Answer: have
---
21. These children _______ have lot of toys.
✔ do
→ "These children" is plural, and the sentence is in present simple. We need an auxiliary verb to emphasize or make a statement.
But note: “have” is already there. So this is likely a
question or emphasis structure.
Actually, this seems like a
statement, but if it's meant to be affirmative, it should be:
“
These children do have lots of toys.”
So, the blank needs
do to add emphasis.
Answer: do
> Note: "lot of" should be "lots of" — but that’s not part of the blank.

✔ have
→ "I" + present perfect = "have eaten"
