Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
- The verb tense of the word we want to use is present simple, because it shows a general or habitual action or situation. 🅰
- The number of the subject we want to use is plural, because it refers to more than one thing or person. 🅱
- The option that matches both the verb tense and number of the word we want to use is match. ✅
-
The other options do not match either the verb tense or number of the word we want to use. ❌
- Will match is future simple, not present simple, and it shows an action or situation that will happen in the future. 🕒
- Had matched is past perfect , not present simple, and it shows an action or situation that happened before another past action or situation. 🔮
- Matches is present simple, but it is singular, not plural, and it agrees with a singular subject. 🎯
