Transcript text: A good hen ... six or seven eggs a week.
A puts
(B) reproduces
C lies
(D) lys
Solution
The answer is the first one (A): puts.
Explanation for each option:
A. Puts - This is the correct answer. The phrase "a good hen puts six or seven eggs a week" is a common way to describe how many eggs a hen lays. "Puts" is often used informally to mean "lays" in this context.
B. Reproduces - This is incorrect. While "reproduces" can refer to the biological process of producing offspring, it is not typically used to describe the act of laying eggs on a weekly basis.
C. Lies - This is incorrect. "Lies" is a verb that means to recline or be in a horizontal position. It does not relate to the act of laying eggs.
D. Lys - This is incorrect. "Lys" is not a word in English that relates to laying eggs. It appears to be a misspelling or typo.
In summary, the correct choice is (A) puts, as it appropriately describes the action of a hen laying eggs.
