Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
a) will not visit
b) will not be visiting
c) had not visited
d) NO CHANGE

Hint: A suggestion is being made. Based on this information, we can safely assume that the action will be happening in the future, as it is a suggestion. This will help you determine the answer.

Complete answer:
Let us look at the given sentence first:
It states that Lia made a suggestion that her parents do not visit her in the summer. It is explicitly said that this is a suggestion and not a firm decision. So, using a verb that conveys that exact sentiment is very important. The given verb is ‘do’. This is not a firm verb, it is suggestive of an action.
Each part of speech in the sentence matches.

Now, we know what we want in the given sentence. Let’s look at the given options:

a) will not visit - The verb ‘will’ makes it clear that no visiting will happen at all. It conveys a firm decision and not a suggestion. It is a simple future tense, which is incorrect. This verb form does not fit into the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option. So, this is an incorrect option.
b) will not be visiting - The verb ‘will’ makes it clear that no visiting will happen at all. It conveys a firm decision and not a suggestion. It is a future continuous tense, which is incorrect. This verb form does not fit into the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option. So, this is an incorrect option.
c) had not visited - This verb conveys that the action has already happened. However, the first part of the sentence is in the present form. So, the two verbs do not match. This verb form does not fit into the given sentence. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option. So, this is an incorrect option.
d) NO CHANGE - We have previously established that there is nothing wrong with the sentence. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.

Note: Read the given sentence and understand the meaning perfectly. Then, check each part of the speech of the sentence. Choose the answer that is the most appropriate.
