Correct Answer: stares at


Solution : The second option is correct.

  • The correct verb tense to use with cat and squirrel in the sentence is the simple present.
  • The correct form of the verb stare with a third-person singular subject (cat) is stares .
  • The verb tense is incorrect; it should be the present tense stares to match the verb tense used earlier in the sentence sits .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The cat sits in the window and stares at the squirrel."
