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

Step 1: The sentence is in the simple present tense and expresses a general truth about human behavior. 
Step 2: Among the options:
- (a) “we would act” → implies a conditional situation, not suitable. 
- (b) “we would be acting” → future conditional progressive, incorrect. 
- (c) "we act" → correct, as it refers to a general principle in the present. 
- (d) "we should act" → suggests advice, not a statement of fact.
Step 3: Hence, option (c) fits perfectly. \[ \boxed{\text{we act}} \]
