Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

This is the correct choice, as good is an adjective and is being modified by the adverb "really".

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Have had a : This option removes " good time " entirely, which changes the meaning of the sentence. It leaves the sentence incomplete and does not convey the intended meaning.

Have had really : This option adds " really " after " have had " but does not include " a" . While it improves the sentence by adding "really", it still leaves out the necessary "a" before "good time".

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "They have had a really good time."
