    Question

    Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence.
    I don’t get on with the new boss, so I have asked to transferring to another branch of the company.

    A.

    will have ask to be transfer

    B.

    have asked to be transferred

    C.

    having ask to be transferred

    D.

    have been ask to be transferring

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) have asked to be transferred.
    Explanation: The sentence requires perfect present tense with passive voice. The correct structure is: “have asked + to be + past participle (transferred).”
    Incorrect form “to transferring” is a gerund but doesn't follow the passive structure.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    In passive construction after verbs like “ask, request, want,” use:
    ask + to be + past participle
    Example: I have asked to be included in the list.
    Information Booster:
    "To + verb-ing" is generally used when the preposition "to" is part of a phrasal verb, not here.
