Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'can' (B) for expressing general present ability. 'Could' expresses hypothetical possibility or conditional ability, which doesn't fit the context of Ella's current capability. The sentence states a factual present ability, requiring 'can.' While 'could' isn't grammatically wrong, it changes the meaning to conditional rather than actual ability.
