Answer 2

Answer: 1. B

2. A

3. D

4. C

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The key word 'Now' represents present tense. Hence, 'lives' is the correct verb.

2. 'I'm trying' matches the tone of the last word in the question, 'doing'.

3. 'floats' is the simplest answer that makes sense. Oil floating on water is a fact, so 'will float' and 'used to float' doesn't make sense.

4. 'given' is usually used to refer something that you have got, so 'Were you given delicious food' perfectly matched the meaning behind the word 'given'.
