No because he is having pain could be correct but as he is having a pain is not wrong.

He is not coming tomorrow since / because(in place of 'as') he is having a pain in the chest and has to see ... It is obvious that he will see the doctor, not me, eh? Therefor the third 'he' in a single sentence is unnecessary.

@vertika: In your sentence, the is used before "severe" and not before pain. So " a pain ", I believe is not correct.

"a pain " is a wrong usage. And one should 'consult' a doctor, but not to see a doctor.

Example: Chest PAIN, you should CONSULT a doctor.

"c" should be the answer in a manner that " has to show to a doctor."

Having relates to eating, so how can having be correct?

Goutham said:   1 decade ago
i think B should be the answer.
as he has a pain in the chest..

or

c
and has to consult a doctor.

Akshay said:   1 decade ago
Tomorrow indicates future tense so can we use.

"he will not coming tomorrow".

Please explain?

Vatsala said:   1 decade ago
Here the right answer should be b as.

Sentence given to us - as he is having 'a' pain in his chest.

Hence the correct answer won't have an 'a' as it can't be used before pain.

(as he is having pain in his chest).

He will not come tomorrow as he is having a pain in the chest and he has to see the doctor.
