Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

It only takes me about 40 minutes to get to work since the new road was opened. It __________ more than an hour.

• A. used to take
• B. has to take
• C. had to take
• D. have to take

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

used to take

The correct option is A. 'Used to' means something that happened but doesn't happen any more. It shows past tense. It always means something that happened in the past, it should always use past tense. Thus 'used to take' is the correct option. Has to take/had to take/have to take are used to denote necessity or requirement thus B, C and D options are wrong.
