1. Listen! Somebody (play) the piano.
A) plays B) play C) playing

The correct answer is A) plays.
Explanation: In this sentence, we are talking about the present moment, so we use the simple present tense. When the subject is a third-person singular (he, she, or it), we add -s or -es to the base form of the verb. Therefore, the correct form is "plays".

2. These shirts (be) clean now. They (be washed).
A) have been washed
B) are being
C) are washed
D) are

The correct answer is A) have been washed.
Explanation: The first part of the sentence talks about the current state of the shirts (being clean now), which indicates a completed action. To express a completed action in the present, we use the present perfect tense. The correct form of the verb "be" in the present perfect tense is "have been". Therefore, the correct answer is "have been washed".

3. We usually (do) shopping at the market.
A) did B) do C) have done

The correct answer is B) do.
Explanation: This is a sentence that talks about a habitual or regular action, so we use the simple present tense. The correct form of the verb "do" in the simple present tense is "do". Therefore, the correct answer is "do shopping".
