Myschool pls correct your mistake
The correct answer is A (is prepared) since it's a habitual event, (everyday) it supposed to carry singular verb.
The catering manageress "saw" to it that the morning meal "was prepared" by 07.00 hours everyday (correct)
The catering manageress "sees" to it that the morning meal "is prepared" by 07.00 hours everyday (correct)
The catering manageress saw to it that the morning meal "is prepared" by 07.00 hours everyday (incorrect)
The sentence is:
"The catering manageress saw to it that the morning meal .... by 07.00 hours every day."
We need the option that correctly fits the structure and meaning of the sentence. The phrase “saw to it that” suggests someone ensured that something was regularly done — so we need a past tense passive structure for a repeated action in the past.
The best choice is:
D. was prepared
Correct sentence: "The catering manageress saw to it that the morning meal was prepared by 07.00 hours every day."
This indicates a habitual past action that the manageress ensured took place.
We are even confusing ourselves; it's very simple to understand.Since we know that it's habitual event.The verb must be present tense without 's' therefore the correct answer is B
B is the answer my school is correct. see how it works
The first part of the sentence uses the verb "saw", which is the past tense of "see." In English, when the main action is in the past, the secondary action usually needs to match that past timeframe.
