Answer
A
The sentence is correct as written.
B
Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, have invited dancers to weekly performance battles.
C
Tommy invite dancers to weekly performance battles.
D
Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles.
Explanation
The subject is “Tommy,” which is singular, so the verb must also be singular. In the present tense, the correct verb form is “invites,” not “invite.” Choice D correctly revises the sentence to say Tommy “invites dancers to weekly performance battles.”
