Question

Choose the most appropriate form of the verb and fill in the blank:

I used to drink a lot of coffee, but these days I ______ tea. (prefer)

• A. am preferring
• B. prefer
• C. have preferred
• D. will prefer

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Option B is the correct answer because ‘prefer’ means to like, choose, or want one thing over another, and it is in the present form, just as the statement.

Option A is incorrect because ‘am preferring’ is an action down in the current present, and also, it should be followed with ‘to’

Option C is incorrect because it is in the past tense.

Option D is incorrect because ‘will’ is used for future forms.
