Answer 1

The answer is C because its the only one that uses the verb correctly

Answer 2

Answer:

The dirty pot has sat in the sink, unwashed, since yesterday.

Explanation:

The four options given are-

1. The dirty pot has sit in the sink, unwashed, since yesterday.

Here, the sentence is in the past tense, with the use of 'yesterday'. But the verb 'has sit' is present tense, which is invalid.

2. The dirty pot has sits in the sink, unwashed, since yesterday.

Again, 'sits' is present tense which is contradictory to the 'yesterday'.

3. The dirty pot has sat in the sink, unwashed, since yesterday.

This is a correct sentence with the use of their tenses.

4. The dirty pot has set in the sink, unwashed, since yesterday.

Here, the word 'set' is the wrong form of the word for 'sit'.
