Fill in the blank in the given sentence by choosing the most appropriate word from the options given below :

The secret of her fitness is that she __________ up before sunrise for an hour's speed walk.

  • A.got
  • B.will get
  • C.gets
  • D.getting

Answer: C

The correct form is gets.

The sentence describes a regular habit, the secret of her fitness, so the simple present is needed: she gets up before sunrise every day. With the third person singular subject 'she', the verb takes -s.

'Got' would describe a single past event, and 'will get' a future one, neither of which explains her fitness. 'Getting' is a participle and cannot be the main verb on its own.
