Explanation:
The simple present tense form of the verb is used to describe or talk about an action that is currently happening or that happens often. It uses the simple form of the verb.
Present continuous tense is used to talk about an event that is ongoing or is bound to happen, an act that is still going on. It uses the "verb+ing" form of the verb.
The correct verbs in parenthesis are given as follows-
a) Her students <u><em>are observing
</em></u> a moment of silence. (Present continuous tense).
b) Francine
<u><em> is studying</em></u> her Spanish lesson now. (Present continuous tense).
c) Water <u><em>freezes </em></u>at 0°C
. (Simple present tense).
d) It <u><em>boils </em></u>at 100°C
. (Simple present tense).
e) The water for the tea <em><u>is boiling</u></em> now. (Present continuous tense).
The correct answer is the fourth option. The other three are grammatically incorrect.
If this is the excerpt:
<span><span>Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard </span>
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
<span>Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd, </span>
<span>Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone: </span>
<span>Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave </span>
<span>Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; </span>
<span>Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss, </span>
<span>Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve; </span>
<span>She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss, </span>
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!
</span>
Then the part that reflect the theme that art is immortal is
Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;
<span><span>She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
</span>It implies that there is no need for grieving because She cannot fade. She will last for a long time.</span>
that's what he tells the children if I remeber correctly
