Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

You can't mean that .You ____ to be joking.

• A. Has got
• B. Have got
• C. Had got
• D. Must got

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Have got

Auxiliary verb helps helps the main verb and is also called helping verb.

Option B is correct because the present perfect indicates that something happened and might be continuing to happen. Therefore the answer is suitable according to the question. "Have" is often combined with an infinitive to form an auxiliary whose meaning is similar to "must".

Whereas, option A doesn't go with the pronoun "you"; option B contains past perfect which doesn't fit in with present tense; option D expresses certainty regarding duty and responsibility.
