Answer 1

6. B. is keeping

7. B. had to ask

8. D. ought to hang

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given sentences, the correct tenses to use depends on the structure and form of the individual sentences. This means that the use of a certain verb tense will be different for all of the sentences.

The correct tenses for the given sentences are as follows-

6. Apparently, the man across the road is keeping his car after all because he took down the for-sale sign a week ago and he is still driving to work.

Here, the tense used is present continuous tense because the event or action is still occurring in the present.

A: What were you doing at the bank yesterday?

B: I had to ask my bank manager for a loan to repair our house, and luckily, I managed to get it.

Here, the use of the simple past tense signifies an obligation that has to be done, thus the use of the modal verb "had to".

8. You ought to hang your jacket on a clothes hanger and not leave it on the chair. You'll crease it!

Here, "ought to" is a semi-modal verb that signifies a duty, or something that is necessary to be done.

Thus, the correct answers are options B, B, and D.
