Question

1. select the word that completes the sentence. she will ______ the book on the table. lay lie

Explanation:

To determine the correct word, we analyze the meanings and usages of "lay" and "lie". "Lay" is a transitive verb that means to place or put something down, and it requires a direct object (here, "the book" is the direct object). "Lie" (in the sense of reclining) is an intransitive verb and does not take a direct object. In the sentence, we need a verb that shows placing the book, so "lay" is appropriate.

Answer:

A. lay
