Correct Answer: have not sold


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

Explanation : Have not sold uses the present perfect tense to indicate that the action of selling the old TV has not been completed up to the present moment. The sentence is in the past tense, and it discusses an action related to selling the old TV.

The option has not sell is grammatically incorrect; have sold doesn't use negation as per context, and am selling doesn't match the tense of the sentence as per parallelism.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "I bought a new TV last month, but I have not sold my old TV yet, so at present I have two TVs."
