Which sentence maintains consistent verb tense?

• A. The student writes every day and wrote a report.
• B. The student writes every day and writes a report.
• C. The student write every day and writes a report.
• D. The student writes every day and will write a report.

Answer: (B)

Consistent verb tense means describing actions in the same time frame. Here, the sentence describes a daily habit, so both actions should be in the present simple. With a singular subject like the student, the form is writes for present tense. Using writes for both verbs keeps the timing clear and parallel: the student habitually writes every day and writes a report. The other options shift time or break agreement—the past tense wrote, the non-specified form write, or the future will write—so they don’t match the ongoing present sense. That’s why the present-tense pair is the best choice.
