Question

Fill in the blank with an appropriate option:

______ my work, I returned from my office a little early.

• A. To finish
• B. Being finished
• C. Having finished
• D. In finishing

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Having finished

The given sentence needs perfect participle. The perfect participle indicates completed action. perfect participle is formed by putting the present participle (having) in front of the past participle.

Option C is correct as it contains perfect participle.

Whereas option A changes the entire meaning of the given sentence which is incorrect because the work is meant to be finished at office; option B doesn't make sense; option D doesn't construct the proper meaning of the sentence as well. Therefore these three options are incorrect.
