Select the answer that is the best version of the following sentence. A. Regular maintenance prolong the life of your car. B. Regular maintenances prolong the life of your car. C. Regular maintenance prolongs the life of your car. D. Regular maintenances prolongs the life of your car.

Respuesta :

the answer should be C

The best version is option C. Regular maintenance prolongs the life of your car. This is the only option that is grammatically correct.

Option A lacks the final '-s' in "prolong" that signals present simple tense and the third person. Option C, on the other hand, contains "prolongs" which is correctly conjugated.

Options B and D are incorrect because "maintenance" is an uncountable noun. That means that the noun cannot be in a plural form signalled by a final '-s' as in these sentences.
