Question

The way we _________ has a decisive effect upon our inner growth.

• A. we would act
• B. we would be acting
• C. we act
• D. we should act

Hint:

For universal truths or general statements, always use the simple present tense.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Option A: "would act" is hypothetical, not a statement of general fact.
2. Option B: "would be acting" is an imagined continuous action, even further from a plain fact.
3. Option C: the simple present "act" correctly states a general truth, matching "has a decisive effect."
4. Option D: "should act" expresses obligation, not actual behaviour.

The correct answer is we act.
