Choose the correct option to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

This column _________ twice weekly in the newspaper that I subscribe to.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

A regular, scheduled occurrence takes the simple present tense: 'This column appears twice weekly.' The present continuous 'is appearing' is not used for fixed routines, 'was appeared' is an invalid passive of an intransitive verb, and 'appearing' alone leaves the sentence without a finite verb.
