Answer options

  1. entered
  2. requested
  3. moved
  4. called

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: entered

Explanation: entered ✅: After had better, the base form of the verb is used. The correct sentence is ‘She had better enter the room.’ It suggests strong advice. requested ❌: Means to ask for something, which does not fit the sentence. moved ❌: Refers to changing position, not contextually appropriate here. called ❌: Means to summon or shout, irrelevant to the situation. ✅ So, the correct usage is ‘entered’, but grammatically it should be ‘enter’ (base verb).
