The word "because" is used to give a reason or explanation, making it the best fit for this context.Rate this question:

- A.

The correct answer is "has been made." This is because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which indicates an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. The word "has" is the auxiliary verb for the present perfect tense, and "been made" is the past participle form of the verb "make." Therefore, "has been made" correctly conveys the idea that chairs have been made in various forms throughout history and continue to be made in the present.Rate this question:
