All these verbs are in the present tense, because they are to describe common daily situations that way) no 'ed,' no' 'ing,' no 'will.' We know we need present tense verbs, because the speaker begins with 'usually,' and there is no other indication she is speaking about the past. The answer choices also only include present tense verbs or bare infinities or "base verbs."
