No English teacher . . . . . . . . to the school till nowadays.

A. has been

B. was appointed

C. had been appointed

D. is appointed

E. were appointed

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option A: has been.

The phrase "till nowadays" means "until now". It shows that the situation started in the past and is still true at the present time.

For actions or situations that continue from the past up to the present, we use the Present Perfect Tense.

The subject "No English teacher" is not performing the action of appointing; rather, the teacher is receiving the action. Therefore, the sentence must be in the Passive Voice.

The structure of the Present Perfect Passive Voice is:

has/have + been + past participle

Using this structure, the sentence becomes:

"No English teacher has been appointed to the school till nowadays."

Why the other options are incorrect?

was appointed – Simple Past Tense, used for a completed action in the past, not for a situation continuing until now.

had been appointed – Past Perfect Tense, used for an action completed before another past action.

is appointed – Simple Present Tense, which does not express a situation continuing from the past until now.

were appointed – Incorrect because the subject "No English teacher" is singular, and the tense also does not fit the context.

Therefore, Option A (has been) is the correct answer.
