In this sentence, we need a verb form that matches the subject 'we' and describes an action happening right now.
Option 1: 'is eating' — This form uses the third-person singular 'is' which does not agree with the plural subject 'we'. So it is grammatically incorrect here.
Option 2: 'eating' — This is a present participle or gerund form, not the required finite verb to accompany 'we' in this clause. It cannot complete the predicate on its own in this context.
Option 3: 'eats' — This is the simple present tense for he/she/it (third person singular) and does not agree with the plural subject 'we' either. It sounds like a habitual action, not the ongoing moment described.
Option 4: 'eat' — This is the base form used in a subjunctive or with an auxiliary like 'do' in questions or negatives, not the standard present continuous construction needed here. It does not express an ongoing action.
Option 5: 'are eating' — This is the present continuous (present progressive) tense, which correctly matches the plural subject 'we' and conveys an action currently in progress: we are eating our frozen bananas and relaxing while we talk. This option aligns with standard English grammar for actions happening at the moment of speaking.
Overall, the reasoning hinges on subject-verb agreement and the aspect tense used to describe ongoing activity. The incorrect options fail due to mismatch in subject number or incorrect aspect, while the correct option uses the appropriate present continuous form for a near-present activity.
