Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 4 i.e. needn't have bought.
- It is clear that the dress was bought in the past.
- We can cancel option 1 as it is in the present tense.
- Options 2 and 3 are cancelled as they are grammatically incorrect.
- The only suitable option is 'needn't have bought'.
- When we say that someone needn't have done something, it means that they did it, but it was not necessary.
- Eg: You needn't have washed the dishes. I would've done it after my meal.
