Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The first option makes the sentence meaningful as 'must' is a modal verb and should be followed by the base form of the verb 'have' . The second and third options are incorrect due to the wrong use of the verb form after 'must' .

Therefore the correct sentence is ''Someone must have been killed. "
