Correct Answer: goes
Solution : The correct answer is option 4.
Explanation:
As often is a frequency adverb, which describes how frequently an action takes place.
- We frequently use adverbs of frequency with the present simple to express "how frequently" we do something.
- Adverbs of frequency are frequently used to describe repetitive behaviours and habits.
- When referring to routine behaviour, the present tense of the verb is typically used (V1 form or base form).
Consequently, "goes" is the appropriate word.
- As a result, choice 4 is the appropriate response.
