Question 1 Report

Fill the each gap with the most appropriate option from the list option from the list provided. _____ told of his impending arrival, I worked hard to make his short stay very comfortable?
Answer Details
The correct option to fill the blank is "Having been". The sentence is in the past tense, and the first clause "having been told of his impending arrival" is in the present perfect participle form, indicating an action that happened before the main clause. The present perfect participle is formed using "having + past participle". Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Having been told of his impending arrival, I worked hard to make his short stay very comfortable." which means that the speaker worked hard to make someone's short stay comfortable after being informed of their arrival.
