Explanation:

We are supposed to choose between two forms of verbs in the present tense to complete the sentences above. One form is used for the persons "I, you, we, they". The other form - the one ending in -s - is for the third person singular (he, she, it). Therefore, we need to pay attention to the subject of each sentence. Let's choose two of them as an example:

3. Sara (feel/feels) stressed at work. --> The subject here is Sarah, or "she". The correct form of the verb is "feels".

10. Jason and Sara both (like/likes) sports. --> Here, both Jason and Sarah are the subject, which makes it plural (they). The best option then is "like".
