Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Helen has finished her school and ____ .

• A. so did her brother
• B. so has her brother
• C. so finished her brother
• D. so her brother has

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

so has her brother

Let’s examine the sentence: “Helen has finished her school and ____ .” The first clause of the sentence is in present perfect tense and so the second clause of the sentence should follow the same tense. This rules out Options A and C. Now, the second clause is putting an emphasis on the fact of finishing the school already mentioned in the first clause. This emphasis can come out when the verb ‘has’ is used just after ‘so.’ Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
