Here, 'is controlled' in simple present tense is correct because it is used to express general truth. Here, the general truth is that the red button controls the pressure.

The given sentence talks about the writing of a particular person. Since no word in the sentence indicates which time period we are talking about, we will have to go through the options and assess which one is right.

Option A:  It is incorrect. Since the subject within the sentence is singular, the verb will have to contain the suffix "s". The given option is inconsistent with the given rule and hence it is incorrect.

Option B:  It is incorrect. Since the subject within the sentence is singular, the auxiliary verb can only be "is" and not "are". The given option is inconsistent with the rule and thus, it is incorrect.

Option C: It is correct. "Wrote" represents the past form of "Write" and past forms attached with the singular subject do not need any auxiliary verbs. Thus, "William wrote" is a meaningful sentence and indicates that "William used to write many great poems on nature". It is consistent with the rules of grammar and hence is correct.

Option D:  It is incorrect. Since the subject within the sentence is singular the auxiliary verb can only be "has" and not "have". The given option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.

The main verb in the sentence is 'write' which is used in base form without any auxiliary verb. So, the tense of the sentence is Simple Present or Present Indefinite.

The given sentence talks about a fact and since no word within the sentence indicates which time period we are talking about we will have to go through all the options and assess which one is right.

Option A: it is correct. "Reckless driving causes many accidents" is a meaningful sentence. It represents a fact that when people drive recklessly it is the cause of accidents. The sentence is grammatically consistent and hence this option is correct.

Option B: it is incorrect. "Reckless driving" is  a type of quality and qualities are treated as singular subjects. In case of singular subjects the verb ends in a suffix "s" this option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.

Option C: it is incorrect. As mentioned above, "Reckless driving" is a singular subject. Thus, the auxiliary verb will be "is". This option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.

Option D: it is incorrect. As mentioned above, "Reckless driving" is a singular subject. Thus, the auxiliary verb will be "has". This option is inconsistent with the rule and hence is incorrect.

Option B is the correct answer because ‘think’ is used to believe something or have an opinion or an idea, as in this case, hence it is the correct replacement. 

The verb in bold 'get up' is incorrect because the verb 'get' is in the first or second person (I get, you get).
The verb must agree with the subject in person and number. Since the subject 'she' is in the third person, its verb form must be 'gets', which is also in the third person.
Hence, the correct form is 'gets up'. So, option C is correct.
Option A: 'Is getting up' refers to a continuous action during the present whereas the word 'never' (not ever) refers to a daily habit in the negative. Option B: 'Had get up' is grammatically incorrect. 'Had' refers to the past time whereas 'get' refers to the present.
Option D: 'Will have got up' refers to a completed action in the future, whereas the action here happens on a daily basis.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.

The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be: am, is, are.
