Explanation
Answer: D - George owes a duty of care to Jerry because George drives on the road and Jerry walks on the road. The present tense is formed by adding an “s” to the end of the verb or by using the present tense of an irregular verb. Answer D is the correct choice because it uses the present tense of the verb “to owe,” the present tense of the irregular verb “to drive,” and the past tense of the verb “to walk.” Answer A is not the correct choice because it uses the future tense of the irregular verb “to ride.” Answer B is not the correct choice because it uses the present perfect tense of the verb “to invite.” Answer C is not the correct choice because it uses the present perfect tense of the verb “to drive” and the past perfect tense of the verb “to walk.”
