Question

Complete the conversation using the most appropriate option:
'Is Helen still here?' 'No, she _______ out.' (just/go)

• A. had just gone
• B. has just gone
  
• C. will just go
  
• D. just has went
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B has just gone

The present perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action has just completed at the moment, here, going out. The present perfect is formed using has/have + past participle, here, "has just gone". The adverb 'just' is used in the middle, preceding the verb 'gone' for emphasis. Hence, Option B is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They mention actions that have already happened in the past (option A) or actions that are yet to happen (option C). The verb form 'just has went' is not in the right order (option D). Hence these options are incorrect.
