Hi. I'm Turkish. Turkish students (14 age) took an exam this week. There is an English question in this exam. This question is discussing in Turkey. This question:
Mary Sanders was a successful artist. Before she died, - - - - . A) she should do practice B) she had better take photos C) she has won several awards D) she could draw many pictures
True answer is D. But a lot Turkish people and English native speakers said "True answer is C.". Can you answer this question? I'm 14 years old and I can't write English very well. If you write an answer, please write an easy English. Thanks a lot.
Top answer
None of the answers is natural. A, B and C are all incorrect. D is just about possible, but most people would use 'was able to' rather than 'could'.
