    Question

    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
    She anticipates __________ the reports done by Saturday.

    A.

    has

    B.

    had

    C.

    having

    D.

    making

    Correct option is C

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (c) having.
    Explanation: The verb “anticipates” is typically followed by a gerund (verb+ing). “Having the reports done” means she expects the completion of work.
    Example: He anticipates having the task finished by Monday.
    Other options:
    · (a) has: Wrong tense and structure.
    · (b) had: Past perfect, incorrect form here.
    · (d) making: Grammatically off as it shifts the meaning from "getting something done" to doing it herself.
    �� Information Booster: Verbs like "anticipate", "enjoy", "avoid", "consider" are followed by gerunds (V+ing).
