The cows in the field are eating the grass, and the bird on the fence is singing. The children on their way to school are looking at the bird. The stream among the trees is flowing quickly.

To choose the correct form of each verb to complete the passage, we need to identify the tense and subject of each sentence.
Let's go through each sentence and identify the verb form for each verb:
1. The cows in the field _______ the grass.
The subject is "The cows" and the verb is missing. We need a present tense verb to match the subject. Let's consider the options:
a) eats
b) are eating
c) eat
d) eating
In this case, the correct form would be "eat" because it matches the subject "cows" and is in the present tense.
2. and the bird on the fence _______.
The subject is "the bird" and the verb is missing. Again, we need to choose a present tense verb form that matches the subject. Let's consider the options:
a) sing
b) is singing
c) sings
d) singing
The correct form would be "sings" to match the subject "bird" and present tense.
3. The children on their way to school _______ at the bird.
The subject is "the children" and the verb is missing. This time, we need to choose a form of the verb that fits the sentence and matches the subject. Let's consider the options:
a) look
b) are looking
c) looks
d) looking
The correct form would be "look" since it matches the subject "children" and is in present tense.
4. The stream among the trees _______ quickly.
The subject is "The stream" and the verb is missing. We need to choose a present tense verb form that matches the subject. Let's consider the options:
a) run
b) is running
c) runs
d) running
The correct form would be "runs" because it matches the subject "stream" and is in the present tense.
To summarize, the correct form of each verb to complete the passage would be:
1) eat
2) sings
3) look
4) runs
