Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct answer is the first option.
There is an error in the use of the verb form in the sentence. The word buy should be replaced with bought to convey the intended meaning that the speaker and possibly others have purchased vegetables from a market at some point in the past.
The other options buying and are buying are inappropriate to use in the sentence since they would be grammatically incorrect. In the present perfect tense. The auxiliary verb have is followed by the past participle (V3) form of the verb, and thus bought is correct.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We have bought vegetables from the market".
