Question 4: Which sentence correctly uses the simple present or present progressive according to the study materials?

A. My friends don't need reading every day.

B. Right now, we shall be watching a play.

C. My dad enjoys watching cooking shows.

D. We now are having a book exchange once a month at my school.

Explanation: Option 0 is correct: 'My friends don't need reading every day.' directly reflects 'My friends don't need/ever't reading every day.' and implies the simple present tense. Option 1 is correct: 'Right now, we shall be watching a play.' is directly stated in the study material as an example of an ongoing action. Option 2 is correct: 'My dad enjoys watching cooking shows.' is based on the material's 'My dad was (enjoy) watching cooking shows.', where 'was' is crossed out and implies 'enjoys' for simple present. Option 3 is incorrect because the phrase 'once a month' typically requires the simple present ('We have'), while 'are having' is present progressive, making the combination grammatically inconsistent for a regular event according to standard English grammar, though the study materials presented it as 'We now the having a book exchange once a month at my school.' which is too ambiguous to be considered correct for standard use.
