Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'have respond'.
Key Points
- The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- Here, 'have responded' should be used instead of 'have respond'.
- In the given sentence 'respond' must be changed into 'responded' because we use 'should have + past participle' to talk about things we regret.
- Example: I got really wet walking home last night, I should have taken an umbrella.
- 'Should + have' is followed by 'past participle'.
- Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
Correct Sentence: You should have responded to my query sooner.
