Take out the bare parts: the subject and verb: forests _____.
If you still can't tell, assimilate it to something easier. Let's say "they are".
Both "forests" and "they" are plural.
Now, you wouldn't say "they is"; the verb also has to be plural.
Back to "forests _____": forests contain. (A)
By the Process of Elimination, C and D are incorrect. You also cannot fill it out with "has contained" because that is singular. It would be "have contained", but that does not make sense in the context.
So, the final answer would sound like this:
The forests near my home contain many different types of trees and plants.
I hope that clarifies the problem (:
We are going to the beach, and leaving tomorrow
After reading this except from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich I've recognized the sentence which shows that ivan ilyich’s daughter, lisa, does not empathize with her father’s suffering almos in the end of the excerpt. I am pretty sure that this sentence best shows what you need.
"it's as if we were to blame! i am sorry for papa, but why should we be tortured?"
