Question

Choose the option that completes the sentence correctly:

Jane _____ to look for a job.

• A. Has decided
• B. Is thinking
• C. Had better
• D. Made him

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Has decided

The given context refers to a decision that has already been made at the time of speaking. This indicates an action that began in the past and has continued till the present as Jane has apparently just made the decision and has not started a job as yet. Thus, present perfect tense will be used.
Option A "has decided" is correct as it is written as S + has/have + V3 + O. So, 'has decided' is the correct choice.
Option B 'is thinking' is incorrect as 'is thinking' is followed by 'of looking for a job'.
Option C is incorrect as 'had better' is not followed by the preposition 'to'. It would just be 'had better look for a job'.
Option D is incorrect as 'made him' is also not followed by the preposition 'to' and would be written as

made him look for a job'.
Thus, only option A is the correct answer.
