Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
The cat sits in the window and staring at the squirrel.

Option 1: No improvement

Option 2: stares at

Option 3: stare on

Option 4: stared at

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: stares at

Solution : The second option is correct.

The correct verb tense to use with cat and squirrel in the sentence is the simple present.
The correct form of the verb stare with a third-person singular subject (cat) is stares.
The verb tense is incorrect; it should be the present tense stares to match the verb tense used earlier in the sentence sits.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The cat sits in the window and stares at the squirrel."
