Assessment: JAMB UTME - Use of English - 1991 Subject: English Language

Question 1 Report

In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):

Sibi _____ novels since she came home

Answer Details
The best option to fill the blank in the given sentence is "has been reading." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense, which is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. The word "since" indicates that the action started at a specific time in the past, and the present perfect continuous is the correct tense to use in this context. Therefore, the complete sentence would read: "Sibi has been reading novels since she came home."
