Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are:

 a. joined

 b. has become

 c. goes

 d. will become

 e. encourages

 f. is

Explanation:

• The word joined has been used in the first blank as the sentence indicates that the action has occurred in the past. The word ago in the first sentence states that it has occurred in the past. Therefore, the past tense of the verb is used, which is joined.

• The present perfect tense is used in the second blank since there is a relationship between actions in the past and present. The word now indicates that there is a relationship between the past and present. Therefore, has become is used.

• The present tense, goes is used in the third blank, since it indicates a hope that will happen in the near future.

• The future tense, will become, is used in the fourth blank to indicate that the action is going to happen in the future soon.

• The present tense, encourages, is used in the fifth blank because the effect of the action will remain for a long time.

• The present tense is is used in the final blank, which states a permanent truth.
