Answer 3

Sure, I'll help you choose the correct variants:

1. Cathy doesn't drive a car. (Present simple tense)
2. It is not raining now. (Present continuous tense)
3. The children are talking to their parents now. (Present continuous tense)

Explanation:

1. "Cathy doesn’t drive a car." - In this sentence, we use the present simple tense ("doesn't drive") to talk about a habitual action or a fact that is generally true. It means that Cathy doesn't drive a car in general.

2. "It is not raining now." - Here, we use the present continuous tense ("is not raining") to describe an action that is happening at the moment of speaking. The phrase "now" indicates the present time.

3. "The children are talking to their parents now." - In this sentence, we use the present continuous tense ("are talking") to indicate an ongoing action that is happening at the moment of speaking, which is "now."

So, the correct variants are 1. Cathy doesn't drive a car. 2. It is not raining now. 3. The children are talking to their parents now.
