Answer:
C. I <u>have just finished</u> reading a wonderful book about space travel.
Explanation:
Consider the following choices:
- A. just finish is incorrect. The ‘just’ should’ve been used with Present Perfect Tense. (Subject + has/have + past participle)
- B. just do finish. Same as A choice, also it wouldn’t make sense or fit the sentence.
- C. Correct structure! Present Perfect is a tense that talks about an event that happened in the past and now it’s still occurring or going on (in general definition) but the tense itself can have many meanings depending on the adverb and additional context. In this case, it means it happened in the past and you’ve <em>just </em>finished the action.
- D. This is Perfect Continuous Tense (Subject + has/have + been + V-ing.) The difference of continuous and simple perfect is that continuous tends to focus on the action or activity itself while simple perfect tends to focus on the result of activity.
Let’s see some examples:
- They’ve been waiting for 2 hours.
- They’ve waited for quite a long time.
Sometimes, the tense tends to differ the meaning. The first sentence means they’ve waited for 2 hours but continuously waiting and waiting which focuses the action. The second sentence means they’ve waited for a long time but we don’t focus whether if they did continuously wait or not - they could’ve missed a day, two or three days for waiting so the tense can have different meaning depending on context, adverb, etc.
A villain is an evil character in any fictional writing or motion picture. He is an evil incarnate that is always satisfying his wishes and fancies. The story revolves around a conflict between a hero and the villain. He is there to harm the hero and those people who are related to him. He is a genius gone astray or a mad scientist who is using his knowledge to bring devastation and chaos in the world. The major drawback in their personality is their overconfidence and pride. His end symbolizes that “pride comes before a fall” (Francis, n.p, n.d).

“Bill Finger and I created the Joker. Bill was the writer. Jerry Robinson came to me with a playing card of the Joker. That’s the way I sum it up. [The Joker] looks like Conrad Veidt — you know, the actor in The Man Who Laughs, [the 1928 movie el] by Victor Hugo based on the Novo. Bill Finger had a book with a photograph of Conrad Veidt and showed it to me and said, ‘Here’s the Joker’. Jerry Robinson had absolutely nothing to do with it, but he’ll always say he created it till he dies. He brought in a playing card, which we used for a couple of issues for him [the Joker] to use as his playing card” (Lovece, n.p, 2005).
