Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:

Your friend and mentor,.................his speech.

Answer Details
The correct option to complete the sentence is "has finished." "Has finished" is in the present perfect tense, which is used to indicate an action that started in the past and has just been completed or has relevance to the present moment. In the context of the sentence, the speaker is referring to their friend and mentor's speech, which was likely just delivered or is still ongoing. Therefore, "has finished" would be the appropriate verb tense to indicate that the speech has been completed. Option B, "is to be finishing," is incorrect because it is in the present continuous tense and suggests that the speech is still ongoing. Option C, "have finished," is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense but uses the plural verb "have," which does not agree with the singular subject "your friend and mentor." Option D, "was finished," is in the past tense and suggests that the speech has already been completed in the past, which is not the case given the context of the sentence.
