Answer 2

Last year, Richard rode his bicycle to work every day, but he has been taking the bus since the accident.

Explanation:

• The right words to fill the blanks in the given statement must be selected after careful consideration of various aspects.
• The main topic that must be kept in mind is subject-verb agreement.
• The beginning phrase of the sentence is referring to an event that was done in the past and thus the use of past tense must be done there.
• A man/woman rides a bicycle, and since the use in the given phrase must be of past tense, the word that fills the first underline is rode.
• In the second phrase of the sentence, the action is one that is being done in the present.
• Thus, the underline will be replaced by has been taking.
