Correct Answer
C. Has already seen

Explanation
The correct answer is "has already seen." The sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time before now. "Has" is the auxiliary verb used with the third person singular subject "she," and "already seen" is the past participle form of the verb "see." This indicates that she watched the film in the past, but the exact time is not specified.

Correct Answer
A. Woke

Explanation
The correct answer is "woke" because it is the past tense form of the verb "wake." In the given sentence, the action of waking up occurred in the past, so the past tense form of the verb is needed. "Wake" is the base form of the verb, "awake" is an adjective, and "none of the above" is not a valid option as it does not provide a suitable verb form.

The use of "'s been" is a contraction of "has been" and is commonly used in spoken English. Both options convey the same meaning, but "'s been" is more informal.

This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is formed by using the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, "have" is contracted to "'ve" in the first person singular and plural. Therefore, the correct forms are "I've had" and "have had."
