One day, she teaches her own children and grandchildren this precious recipe!Which is the best replacement for the underlined sentence?
Answer
A
One day, she had taught her own children and grandchildren this precious recipe!
B
One day, she is teaching her own children and grandchildren this precious recipe!
C
One day, she would teach her own children and grandchildren this precious recipe!
D
One day, she teaches her own children and grandchildren this precious recipe!
Explanation
The paragraph is told in the past tense: Nikki’s grandmother “made” baklava, and the day “had finally come.” The sentence should show what Nikki expected to do later, from that past point of view, so “would teach” is the best fit. Choice C, “One day, she would teach her own children and grandchildren this precious recipe!” keeps the tenses consistent.
