Model Answer
The correct option is (A) reflect.
The subject "flowers and grass" is plural, so the plural verb "reflect" (simple present) is grammatically correct.
Explanation
This tests subject-verb agreement. "Flowers and grass" is a plural subject joined by "and," requiring the base form "reflect." "Reflects" (B) is for singular subjects; "reflected" (C) is past tense; "shall reflect" (D) breaks the present-tense pattern of the poem.
