Attention Sports Lovers! The inter-school basketball tournament finals have been played and our school team has grabbed the third prize.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
- The verb tense of the word we want to use is present perfect, because it shows an action that has a present consequence or effect. 🅰
- The meaning of the word we want to use is to take or obtain something quickly or eagerly, especially in a competitive situation. 😮
- The option that matches both the verb tense and meaning of the word we want to use is has grabbed. ✅
-
The other options do not match either the verb tense or meaning of the word we want to use. ❌
- Has achieved is present perfect, but it means to accomplish or attain something through effort or skill, which does not fit well with the context of winning a prize. 🏆
- Has obtained is present perfect, but it means to get or acquire something, usually through a formal or official process, which does not fit well with the context of winning a prize. 📄
- Has received is present perfect, but it means to be given or presented with something, usually as a gift or reward, which does not fit well with the context of winning a prize. 🎁
