eating

No substitution required

eat

eaten

- The original sentence uses "ate," which is in the past tense. This is incorrect for the context, as "these days" suggests a present situation.

- Option 1, "eating," implies a continuous action. It would be suitable if framed in a different tense, like "I am eating."

- Option 2, "No substitution required," would be correct if the original segment "ate" was suitable, but it's not.

- Option 3, "eat," is correct because it fits with the present tense implied by "these days." It suggests a habitual action in the present.

- Option 4, "eaten," is a past participle and incorrect without an auxiliary verb.
