Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D choose the word or group of words that best completes the sentence.
Mrs. Nwokolo had ... her breakfast before her friend came in
Answer Details
The best option to complete the sentence is "had". The sentence is in the past tense and is talking about an action that was completed before another event. "Had" is the past tense of "have", which means to consume or eat something. Therefore, the sentence is saying that Mrs. Nwokolo consumed her breakfast before her friend arrived. The other options do not accurately convey the intended meaning. "Has" is the present tense of "have" and is not suitable for a past tense sentence. "Have" is the present tense and does not fit into the past tense context of the sentence. "Been had" is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in this context.
