Back

don't open

Answer explanation

The correct choice is "don't open" because "banks" is plural. In English, we use "do not" (contracted to "don't") with plural subjects, while "doesn't" is used with singular subjects.

Correct answer: lives

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'lives' because it agrees with the singular subject 'sister'. The verb 'live' needs to be in the third person singular form, which is 'lives', to match the subject in the present tense.
