Question

You should not _______the worst.
(a) assumed
(b) assuming
(c) assume
(d) assumes​

Answer 1

You should not assume the worst. (Option c)

• The given sentence can be completed by inserting a word that is in the simple present tense.
• So, assume and assumes are suitable options.
• However, the sentence's pronoun is 'you' and it will be followed by 'assume'.
• The sentence means that the person should not expect the worst to happen.
• The other given options are irrelevant and do not fit here.
