Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable verb.

Somebody _____ won the lottery ticket.

• A. have
• B. has
• C. is
• D. are

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

has

b'b"\'Somebody\' is an indefinite pronoun which always takes the singular form. Therefore the verb to be used here also has to be in the singular form.

Option A \'have\' is incorrect as it represents plural form.

Option D \'are\' is incorrect as it also represents plural form.

Option C \'is\' can\'t be used when the sentence is in present perfect. It can be used in present continuous form for eg. Somebody is calling you. or future continuous for eg. Somebody is going to win the lottery ticket.

Option B is the right answer.
