Answer 2

2. haya

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise, it is important to bear in mind the concept of grammatical mood. Grammatical mood reflects a speaker's attitude towards a statement. There are three moods in Spanish: the subjunctive, the indicative, and the imperative.

In this case, you have to choose between the indicative and the subjunctive mood of the verb "leer" conjugated in the present perfect, that is, between the forms "ha leído" (indicative) and "haya leído" (subjunctive). If we consider the context, the correct one is the subjunctive form "haya leído". This is a special case of the use of the subjunctive to refer to an action that has taken place in the past. Here follows the rule:

The present perfect subjunctive is used when the main verb (in the independent clause) is in the present, future, present perfect or imperative tense (in this sentence the verb "ha leído" is conjugated in the present perfect), and when the subjunctive verb (in the dependent clause) refers to an action that has already taken place (Luisa has already read the book in the past).
