SSC Stenographer 2025 PYQ — Question 164

SSC Stenographer - 07 Aug 2025 - Shift 1 • English • Q164

Fill in the blank with the appropriate tense.

The student _______ his homework yet.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Present Perfect Tense: The word "yet" is a keyword that typically requires the present perfect tense (has/have + past participle). It indicates an action that was expected to happen but hasn't occurred by the present moment.

Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject "The student" is singular (third-person singular), so it requires the auxiliary verb "has" rather than "have."

The sentence is in the active voice because the student is the one performing (or not performing) the action. "Was not completed" would be passive and grammatically incorrect in this context.

The correct choice to complete the sentence is has not completed.

The completed sentence is: "The student has not completed his homework yet."
