Answer explanation

The correct sentence with the correct verb forms is:

"Mrs. Hudson is my math teacher. She has taught me for four years, and in that time, I have gotten much better at maths."

Explanation:

• "has taught" (present perfect) → Used because the action started in the past and continues to the present.

• "have gotten" (present perfect) → Shows an improvement that has happened over time up to now.

If you're using British English, you can say "have got" instead of "have gotten." 😊
