Ответ:

the boss has been looking

she must wear

Answer 2

For the first sentence:

"When Helen got to the office, John told her that the boss had been looking for her."

The correct option is "1. has been looking."

Explanation: The use of "had been looking" (option 2) would imply that the boss was looking for her in the past, but that action is not directly related to the present. Since the sentence is describing a situation that occurred recently (when Helen got to the office), the present perfect continuous tense is appropriate, indicating an action that started in the past and is still ongoing or has just been completed.

For the second sentence:

"When my grandmother was a child, she had to wear a school uniform."

The correct option is "3. had to."

Explanation: The phrase "had to" indicates a past obligation or requirement, which fits the context of the sentence. The other options are not appropriate in this context: "hadn't" (option 1) means "had not," and it doesn't make sense here; "must" (option 2) is used for present and future obligations, not past ones.
