Question

He _____a therapist for several years after he left school. A has seen B has been seeing C saw

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) saw.

The sentence is in the past tense, indicating that the action of seeing a therapist occurred in the past. The verb "saw" is the past tense form of "see," making it the appropriate choice in this context.

Option A) "has seen" is in the present perfect tense, which suggests that the action of seeing a therapist is still ongoing or has a connection to the present. However, the sentence indicates that the person saw a therapist for several years after leaving school, implying that the action has already been completed.

Option B) "has been seeing" is in the present perfect continuous tense, which suggests an ongoing action that started in the past and continues up to the present. Again, this does not fit the context of the sentence, which indicates that the person saw a therapist for several years in the past.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) saw.
