TOEIC III

1font00I (A) 01u00haven't had yet02u00 a chance (B) 01u00to look over those files02u00, but (C) 01u00from what I hear02u00, (D) 01u00they're a real mess02u00.02font02br
02br
00I think this is an easier one to do. I will move "yet" to either after "chance" or "files". Is that correct?02br
02br
00One more thing to ask. Why is "hear" a present tense? I guess I "heard" something before now. Please advise.02br
