Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is "is sweeping" because we use the present progressive tense (am, is, or are + -ing) to talk about an action that is happening right now. In this sentence, Perry is currently sweeping the front walk, so we use "is sweeping." "Am sweeping" (A) is incorrect because "am" is not used with "Perry," and "are sweeping" (C) is incorrect because "Perry" is singular, and "are" is plural.
