Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
> "I am a student and ____ Musa. I left for the university, and ____ Musa."
The sentence is talking about two subjects, the speaker and Musa, in parallel structure. We need to find options that match the subject and the tense correctly.
Now, let's look at each option:
- A. was, does — The first part "I am a student" is in the present tense, so "was" doesn't match. Incorrect.
- B. so is, so did — "So is" is appropriate for matching the present tense of "I am," and "so did" doesn't fit with "left for the university" (past tense). Incorrect.
- C. so was, so does — "So was" is in the past tense, which doesn't match the present "I am a student." Incorrect.
- D. he is, he did — "He is" is good for the first part, but "he did" doesn't match the tense for leaving. Incorrect.
- E. so he is, so he went — "So he is" matches the present tense of "I am a student," and "so he went" correctly matches the past tense of "left for the university." Correct.
