SSC Stenographer - 08 Aug 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q129

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

She ________ finished watching that movie already.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is ‘has’.

Here, "has" is the grammatically correct auxiliary verb to pair with the third-person singular subject "She"

Has: Used with third-person singular subjects (He, She, It).

Had: Used for past perfect, but "already" usually signals present perfect in this context unless a past reference is established.

Have: Used with I, You, We, They.

Having: This is a gerund/participle and does not function as a primary auxiliary verb here.

The complete sentence is "She has finished watching that movie already."
