Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. had to get up. 

  • "Had to" is the past tense of "have to", indicating a necessity in the past. 
  • "Get" is the correct form of the verb, which follows "had to".
  • "I have been in a daze all morning" is in the present perfect tense, indicating that the state of being in a daze started in the past and continues into the present. 

Hence the correct statement will be: I had to get up early, so I have been in a daze all morning.
