cockerel______________at five o'clock every morning without fail.
a. don't need/crows
b. won't need/is crowing
c. haven’t needed/was crowing
d. didn’t need/will crow​

Answer 1

Answer:

haven't needed/ was crowing

Answer 2

The correct answer is a. don’t need/crows.

This is because the sentence describes a general situation that is true in the present and does not depend on a specific time or condition. Therefore, the present simple tense is appropriate for both verbs. The verb crow is also regular and does not change its form in the third person singular.

The other options are incorrect for different reasons:

b. won’t need/is crowing.

This implies a future prediction or intention that does not match the context of the sentence. The present continuous tense also suggests a temporary or ongoing action that is happening right now, which is not the case.

c. haven’t needed/was crowing.

This implies a present perfect tense that describes an unfinished or incomplete action that started in the past and has a connection to the present. However, the sentence does not indicate any such connection or relevance. The past continuous tense also suggests an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past, which is not relevant here.

d. didn’t need/will crow.

This implies a past simple tense that describes a completed action that happened at a specific time in the past. However, the sentence does not indicate any such time or completion. The future simple tense also suggests a prediction or intention that does not match the context of the sentence.
