English question

[silversolitaire]

My dad brought home a test they're having people take at his base. I need you guys to give me your opinion on this.

Q: "Do you know your way around this department?"

A: "Well, I should do. By the end of the month I ..... working here for a whole year, you know."

A) have been.
B) 'll have been.
C) 'll be.

[Poll #1131412]

To me "I should do" sounds absolutely totally wrong. I've asked other people and most are with me, but one Brit said it sounds okay. I'm confused now and would like to know what you guys think about this. This test is meant to test people's feeling for the language. Pretty much like the TOEFL (test of English as a foreign language). I find it a bit disconcerting if it's not 100% correct in its own questions!

I said "I should do" was wrong, but in reality it depends on context. In and of itself, I would never say "I should do." as a complete sentence without some other addition such as "I should do that."

I does strike me as a "Brit"thing to say, so I don't know. :-)

Yes, looks like it's British... so weird! LOL
