Fill in the blank with the correct form of verb from the options given below:

These grapes _____ sour in comparison to what I had yesterday.

is tasting

taste

tasted

have tasted

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 (is tasting) -> Incorrect because "is" is singular (but "grapes" is plural), and "taste" as a stative verb describing a state shouldn't use the continuous form.

Option 2 (taste) -> Correct because it's simple present tense, agrees with the plural subject "grapes," and properly uses "taste" as a stative verb to describe the current state.

Option 3 (tasted) -> Incorrect because past tense doesn't fit when describing how the grapes taste in the present moment.

Option 4 (have tasted) -> Incorrect because present perfect tense is inappropriate here; we need simple present to describe the current state/quality of the grapes.

Hence, Option 2 (taste) -> Stative verbs like "taste," "seem," "appear" (when describing states rather than actions) use simple present tense to describe current qualities or conditions. The plural subject "grapes" requires the base form of the verb. -> correct
