Answer:
The only option that is CORRECT according to the use of the Simple Present Tense is letter B. She cooks dinner once a week.
Explanation:
In English, the Simple Present Tense is used to express habitual actions or universal truths. The rules are quite simple:
- for most persons of speech, we do not alter the verb. We simply drop the "to" that indicates the verb is not conjugated, and add the subject before the verb: to cook - I cook; you cook; we cook; they cook.
- for the third person singular (he, she, it), the verbs will be slightly altered. Most verbs will have an -s added to their endings. Verbs ending in -s, -sh, -ch, -o, -x, or -z will have -es added to them. Verbs ending in a consonant followed by -y will drop the -y and have -ies added. Study the examples: she cooks; he goes; it flies.
Having those rules in mind, we can see that letter B is the only correct option. It conjugates the verb correctly, in accordance to the third person "she". Letters A and D present an incomplete form of the Present Continuous Tense, and Letter C conjugates the verb in the singular while subject is plural.

"Zlateh the Goat" is a short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer, that happened during winter time in Poland. The village is normally blanketed in snow, so Reuvan the furrier would be selling furs in his village, but that year no snow had fallen. Their goat named Zlateh is very old and gives little milk to the family, and since no one in the village needs fur, they decide to sell the goat to the butcher to get money for Hanukkah. Aaron, the oldest boy in the family, had orders from his father, Reuven, to deliver the goat to the butcher. When Aaron embarked on his journey to the butcher with two pieces of bread and a thin slice of cheese, a blizzard blasted him and his goat, Zlateh. They luckily found shelter in a hay pile off the side of the road. Aaron and Zlateh were trapped in the hay pile for four days, but during those few days Aaron and Zlateh bonded and became fond of each other. To survive, Aaron drank Zlateh's milk and ate his meager amount of bread and cheese, while Zlateh ate the hay that surrounded them. When Aaron heard sleigh bells ringing outside his shelter, he left the hay pile with Zlateh, asked the passing citizen how to return to his village, and began his walk home with Zlateh. When Aaron finally arrived home, his family was overjoyed upon his arrival. He and his family never wanted to harm or sell Zlateh after she saved Aaron's life.
