Choose from the options lettered A – E,the most appropriate form of the verb (using the recent past) to complete the following sentences. Bola: Je suis en retard? Tom: Non.
Explanation
When Bola asks “Je suis en retard?” (Am I late?), Tom responds “Non, nous n’avons pas commencé” (No, we haven’t started). This is the passé composé form using avoir + past participle to indicate they have not yet begun.
The response makes sense – if they haven’t started, then Bola is not late. The other options don’t logically answer the question about being late.
