EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Aglitter
- Bglitters
- Cglittering
- Dgliding
Explanation
The proverb is 'All that glitters is not gold' — here 'all' is singular in sense (everything that glitters), so it takes the singular verb 'glitters'. 'Glitter' is a plural verb form, 'glittering' is a participle that leaves the clause without a finite verb, and 'gliding' is the wrong word entirely. Hence (B) glitters is correct.
