Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: "drives"
Explanation: Use the simple present tense for habitual actions, routines, and scheduled events. The phrase "Every Monday" indicates a repeated routine, so the simple present is required.
Structure: Subject + base verb (add -s for third-person singular).
Why this fits: "Every Monday" signals a habitual action, and "Sally" is third-person singular, so "drive" becomes "drives."
Why the other verb forms are incorrect:
"Is driving" (present continuous) describes an action happening now or around now, not a regular scheduled event.
"Has been driving" (present perfect continuous) describes an action that started in the past and continues to the present or emphasizes duration, not a repeated weekly schedule.
"Has driven" (present perfect) indicates a completed action with present relevance, not a habitual routine.
Correct sentence: Every Monday, Sally drives her kids to the football practice.
