Question

Select the suitable option to fill in the blank:

The tree was only three meters high. Now it is four. The tree ________________.

• A. will have grown
• B. has grown
• C. had grown
• D. grows

Answer 1

The correct option is B has grown

The present perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action has taken place once or many times before now, here, the tree growing. The present perfect is formed using has/have + past participle, here, "has grown". Questions are indicated by inverting the subject and has/have. Negatives are made with not. Hence, Option B is correct.

The rest of the options do not express this condition. They mention actions that will happen in the near future (option A), actions that have already happened (option C) or actions happening on a daily basis (option D).

Hence these options are incorrect.
