Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The phrase "has learned", which means 'has already completed the process of learning, should be replaced with learnt , thereby indicating that the teacher is expressing that it's high time for the daughter to learn how to write. We can use the expression "it's time + subject + past form of the verb" to refer to the present moment.

The other options are incorrect as they change the tense of the sentence and do not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " It is time that your daughter learnt how to write. "
