Correct Answer:
B. Leads
Explanation:
The correct answer is Leads because the pronoun 'either' is singular and requires a singular verb to agree with it.
- Step 1 (Subject-Verb Agreement): Even though the sentence mentions 'two roads', the subject 'Either' means 'one or the other'. Because it refers to a single choice, it takes a singular verb.
- Step 2 (Verb Form): In the present tense, singular verbs end with an 's', making leads the correct grammatical choice.
- Incorrect Options:
- Lead is a plural verb form and cannot be paired with the singular pronoun 'either'.
- Leading is a participle and needs an auxiliary verb (like 'is') to complete the sentence.
- Have led is plural and changes the timeline of the statement unnecessarily.
