Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
She usually does not leave for work until she finished all her chores.
(1) finishes
(2) has finished
(3) had finished
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option.
This option is the correct choice, as it uses the simple present tense, which is appropriate because the sentence is in the present tense, and it correctly indicates that she does not leave for work until she completes all her chores. Moreover, the clause after until is in the simple present tense.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "Has finished": This option changes the meaning of the sentence. Using "has finished" suggests that she has already completed her chores before leaving for work, which is not the intended meaning.
- "Had finished": This option is not correct because it places the action of finishing the chores in the past relative to another past event.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She usually does not leave for work until she finishes all her chores."
