Hi Smarak,
Few doubts in your explanation.
In option (A) you mentioned that the tenses are “not parallel”. what does that mean?
In option (E) you mentioned that there is a “problem with had”. why is it so?
In option (D) you mentioned that “there is no end time limit for “Had””. could you please explain this?
Hi Anusha
Let me clear your doubts.
Hi Jayaprakash,
Thanks for the expalnation. But as you said options (A) and (E) are sentence fragments, could you please explain in more detail about this.
Hi Anusha
Hi SaiKiran,
Thanks for the explanation.So the elimination is based only on usage of “had” r8? In that case it will be easy because i am confused a lot with parallelism,idiom usage.
Hi Jayaprakash,
Thanks for the explanation.
