c) Done
d) Did

Answer 1

Hint: Read the given sentence carefully and try to make out the core meaning of it. We have to use the correct verb form of the word “do”.

Complete answer:
The sentence conveys that the speaker is asking the listener if he/she has done his/her homework. There are different verb forms of “do” given in the four options, choose the correct one.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option :
Option ‘a’ is Do. It is used to perform a task or action. It is used after a verb. But here, we cannot use it after ‘you’. It would be grammatically incorrect
Option ‘b’ is To do. This is also an incorrect option as it cannot be used after ‘you’. We cannot use ‘to do' in the given phrase. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘c' is Done. It is an auxiliary verb and can be used in the given phrase. The subject is the auxiliary verb, ‘have' is already given, which suggests the use of the third form of ‘do’. So, this is the correct option.
Option ‘d’ is Did. It is in the past tense and cannot be used in the given phrase. So, we will eliminate this option straight away. Hence, option ‘c’ is the correct option.

Note:
 A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state of being. It is the grammatical centre if the predicate of the sentence.
