Correct Answer: reports the matter


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

  • We would replace "reports" with "reported" to correct the sentence.
  • "Have + past participle form of the main verb" is used to form the present perfect tense, and "have" is always followed by the third form of the verb.
  • Thus, the past participle of the verb "report," i.e., reported, would be used.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "You should have reported the matter to your teacher instead of taking it in your own hands."
