Explanation:

Question 11

The verb "speak" is in present tense. To form the present progressive, we use the present tense of "be" (is/are) + present participle (-ing form). The subject "prophecies" is plural, so "be" is "are". The present participle of "speak" is "speaking". So the progressive form is "are speaking".

The verb "discloses" is present tense. The subject "God" is singular, so the present tense of "be" is "is". The present participle of "disclose" is "disclosing". Thus, the progressive form is "is disclosing".

The verb "promised" is past tense. The subject "God" is singular, so the past tense of "be" is "was". The present participle of "promise" is "promising". So the progressive form is "was promising".

Answer:

are speaking
