The aircrew ________ not come yet.
Answer: C
The answer is has: the aircrew has not come yet.
Aircrew is a collective noun. When the group is thought of as a single unit, as here (the crew as a whole has not arrived), it takes a singular verb. Yet with a negative calls for the present perfect, so the full verb is has not come.
Have treats the crew as separate individuals, a usage found in British English but not the one the key accepts. Is not come is an archaic form of the perfect, and will not come yet clashes with yet, which looks back to the present moment.
