Question

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.

First he _____ (have) to fill in a form for a new cheque book, as all the cheques in the old book are used up.

• A. Has
• B. Will have
  
• C. Had
• D. Should have

Answer 1

The correct option is A Has

The sentence has two parts. The second part i.e 'as all the cheques in the old book are used up' indicates a present situation. Therefore, we need to use the simple present tense form of the verb 'have' to maintain tense throughout. So, the correct answer is option A) has. The other options are not in simple present tense and so cannot be used.
