2 うって

3 のんで

4 まって







[Answer]


このみせはパンとケーキを(2 うって)います。

This shop sells bread and cake.



The key word here is「みせ」(shop).


What does a shop do with bread and cake?

→ It sells them!


The verb "to sell" is うる (dictionary form).


To say an action is happening right now or is a continuous state, we use:

Verb【te-form】+ います 

うる (dictionary form)

うって (te-form) 


うって + います

= うっています (is selling / sells)


So, the correct answer is うって.



✖ Other Choices:

たべて

=たべる (to eat)

→ A shop doesn't eat bread and cake.


のんで

=のむ (to drink)

→ You can't drink bread or cake.


まって

=まつ (to wait)

→ A shop doesn't "wait" bread and cake. It doesn't make sense.



I hope this explanation helps! 😊
