So in other words id say D
A verb is used to describe an action.
Example: Joan is running to the park to play frisbee.
The key words are: is running.
So, in your question, since Uncle Joe is growing a beard, that'll mean your verb tense is present progressive. It's present progressive because he's growing something, and things that grow have a process to follow through.
I hope I helped :)
I really don't know if my answer is going to help you but . . .
“Pretense” is a noun, and another form of the verb “pretend”. It is synonymous with “guise” “an act”, and can also refer to “a claim”, furthering its similarity to “pretend”. Pretense is the American spelling of the word, while pretence, with a “c”, is the British spelling. Here are some examples:
“He was hiding his anger under the pretense that everything was fine”
“She was not even making any pretence of hiding”
That is how you put "pretense" in a sentence . . . . . .
