EnglishVerbs, Tenses & Agreement
Fill in the blank with the correct word: She had better ______ the room.
- a.entered
- b.requested
- c.moved
- d.called
Answer: (A) entered
'Had better' gives strong advice or a warning and is followed by the bare infinitive: 'She had better enter the room', negative 'had better not enter'. All four options here are past forms, so the item is flawed as set. The key takes 'entered' because 'enter' is the only verb of the four that takes 'the room' directly as its object (one requests or calls a person, and moves a thing).
