Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is A heard; have
The correct answer is Option A. The tense of the verbs matches the situations of the sentences given. The news is already 'heard' by Dave and the meeting is scheduled, so Norris says, "I have a meeting...".
Options B, C and D are incorrect as the tense of the verb and the agreement of the verb to the subject of both the verbs mentioned do not match to the context at the same time.
