Which of the phrases a),b),c)and d) given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make grammatically correct ?If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required mark e) as the answer.
The past perfect tense used in the original sentence is unjustified. When we want to talk about an action that happened before a past event, we use the past perfect tense.
