Sanchit has been read since early morning for his class test.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. “Sanchit has been read”.
The phrase “since early morning” indicates an action that began in the past and continues to the present. To express this correctly, the present perfect continuous tense is required (i.e., has been reading), not the passive form “has been read.”
The original segment “has been read” is incorrect because it improperly uses the passive voice instead of showing Sanchit performing the action of reading. The correct wording should be:
“Sanchit has been reading since early morning for his class test.”
Why the other segments are fine:
Option 2 (class test.) – This phrase is grammatically correct.
Option 3 (since early morning) – The phrase appropriately indicates duration and is correctly used.
Option 4 (for his) – The preposition “for his” is correctly used to indicate purpose.
