Explicação
Vamos completar no presente simples, observando o sujeito e as regras:
- “her country” (3ª pessoa do singular: it) → no presente simples afirmativo, o verbo ganha -s: spends.
- “the environment” (3ª pessoa do singular: it) → também pede -s: produces.
- “She” (3ª pessoa do singular) na negativa → usa does not / doesn’t + verbo no infinitivo sem to: doesn’t feel.
- “Many neighbours” (plural: they) → verbo fica na forma base, sem -s: arrive.
Resposta final: (1) spends; (2) produces; (3) doesn't feel; (4) arrive.
