While I was reading a quiz, I found the following choice question: She never (do - does - did) her homework at school.

Since my native language is not English and I am still in the very beginning way to studying English, I found that "never" can be used in Present Simple Tense as well as Past Simple Tense and other tenses, but I am still unsure whether this one can be a multiple choice question or there is a matter of preference here. I really couldn't make my mind up.

Could you, please, help, friends?

Thanks in Advance, Yusuf Ali

A good multiple choice question should have at least one wrong answer. The wrong one here is 'Do'. The sentence there would be: She does not do her homework at school. A different form of never rather than does. The other choices could be used for tenses you mention.

    I'd have said good multiple choice question should have exactly one right answer. Unless associated instructions made it clear the task was to identify the one and only "wrong" answer. – FumbleFingers Apr 8 '19 at 18:21

    Just finished a test where there were as many as three right answers. Instructions were painful. Multiple choice tests mean the teacher has failed to serve their function. – Elliot Apr 9 '19 at 17:55
