    • Have

    • Has

    • Does

    • Did

    Correct Answer
    A. Has
    Explanation
    The given sentence is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present. Since the subject "Dude Harlino" is singular, the correct verb form to use is "has." This indicates that Dude Harlino has married at some point in the past and is still married in the present.

    Jude can't swim and Sisca ......................

    • Can't either

    • Neither can't

    • Couldn't either

    • Neither can

    Correct Answer
    A. Can't either
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "can't either" because it is the correct negative form to match the negative statement "Jude can't swim". "Neither can't" and "couldn't either" are incorrect because they create a double negative, while "neither can" is incorrect because it lacks the negative form "not".

    • Doesn't either

    • Neither do

    • Neither does

    Correct Answer
    A. Neither do
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "neither do". This is because the sentence is in the negative form, and the word "neither" is used to show that the same negative situation applies to another person or thing. In this case, it is saying that the person does not belong to the class, and another person or thing also does not belong to the class.

    • Neither does

    Correct Answer
    A. Didn't either
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "didn't either" because it is the correct negative form to match the negative statement "We didn't have breakfast." The phrase "didn't either" indicates that Juan also did not have breakfast.

    • Does too

    • So did

    • Did too

    Correct Answer
    A. So did
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "so did". This is because the sentence is in past tense and "so did" is used to show agreement with a previous action. In this case, it means that Arya finished his homework and Andi also finished his homework.

  • 8. 

    I don't have money, and ........................ she.

    • So does

    • Neither does

    • Do too

    Correct Answer
    A. Neither does
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "neither does." This answer is appropriate because it completes the sentence in a grammatically correct way. The sentence structure requires a negative statement to match the first part of the sentence, which states "I don't have money." "Neither does" is the correct choice because it indicates that the other person mentioned in the sentence also does not have money.
