Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct form of the verb for the subject "Jennifer" is "is studying" since "Jennifer" is a singular subject and requires a singular form of the verb. "Am studying" is incorrect because "am" is the first-person singular form of the verb "to be," and "Jennifer" is not referring to the speaker. "Are studying" is incorrect because "are" is the plural form of the verb "to be," and "Jennifer" is singular, not plural.
