The correct answer is A. have been

This is a linking verb that provides the aspect of the main verb that is careful. Should is a modal verb.

The correct answer is: Option A. Have been.

A <em>linking verb </em>is a type of verb that describes the subject by connecting to the predicate in the sentence. Since it serves as a connector, this type of verb does not refer directly to an action as a regular verb would.

In this example, the word "have" serves as an auxiliary verb for the verb in present participle "been". The link of both these words make for the linking verb which conects the subject "Shelly" and the predicate "more careful on the path".

<em>Should </em>is not part of the linking verb; it is a modal verb.

I'm not good with Grammar. But, I like writing fictional stories. Here you can use one of mine if you want. This is the idea: Lien, Jeffrey, Alejandro and Lola go to a field trip to a science museum. Once inside Lola the most troublesome of them 4 accidentally overhears a conversation where 2 scientist are plotting to build an underwater city because Armageddon was near. After hearing this she tells her 3 friends Lien, Alejandro and Jeffrey.  However they don't believe her. So what Lola does is that she alone follows the scientist around and she uncovers hidden secrets as of where the underwater city might be etc. And in one of those times she was spying she realizes the scientist are working on a force field to seal the city. She finds out where the city is hidden.
 Later on Lola finds submarines in the museum and decides to go herself to the city and save herself since her friends aren't willing to listen to her. She is not captured, get's away with it and when Armageddon comes she is inside the city protected by the underwater force field. And among her are other thousands of survivors. Details can be added to it. Don't you think?
