We are having the room ______ before the guests arrive.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. redecorated
- Step 1: 'Have + object + past participle' expresses arranging for someone else to do a job.
Answer
redecorated.
Why not the others: "to redecorate" is wrong because the infinitive does not follow this causative structure. "redecorate" is wrong because 'have something done' needs the past participle. "redecorating" is wrong because the -ing form would suggest the room is doing the work.
