Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
_____________ she already bought a new car?
A) Did
B) Has
C) Does
D) Have

Answer 1

Hint:Verbs are the words that show action, occurrence, or state of being. Verbs can be expressed in different tenses, depending on when the action is being performed. For example- Jennifer walked to the store, in this sentence, walked is the verb that shows an action.

Complete answer:
Here in this question we have to fill the blank with the most appropriate verb.
Option A) Did – is an incorrect answer because the main verb in the sentence is in the third form. So, the use of did is inappropriate here in the blank. And we use ‘did’ in the past tense questions and we normally use the auxiliary verb ‘did’ at the beginning of the question or before the main subject. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Has – is the correct answer because ‘has’ is used alongside the pronouns i.e. he/ she/ it/ and who and singular nouns. So, the use of ‘has’ is the correct choice in the blank. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option C) Does – is an incorrect answer because ‘does’ is used for third person singular pronouns like she/ he and it. We use does at the beginning to make the affirmative sentence a question. For example-
Affirmative sentence-He speaks German.
Question- Does he speak German.
This option ‘does’ is not the perfect fit in the blank. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Have – is an incorrect answer because ‘have’ is used in the present tense when the subject is in plural noun i.e. I/ we/ you/ they and etc. So, the given sentence does not have a plural subject. So, the use of ‘have’ in the blank is totally wrong. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:To answer this particular question, auxiliary verb to be used here in the blank. Auxiliary verbs used in forming the tenses, mood and voces of the other verbs. Auxiliary verbs are also called helping verbs. Option B is correct as the subject is singular and the new car suggests the use of present perfect tense (bought). Has is used as an auxiliary verb here.
