    • Had been read

    • Had read

    • Has read

    Correct Answer
    A. Had read
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had read". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the word "had" indicates an action that occurred before another past action. In this case, the action of reading the book occurred before the action of understanding the movie.

    • Had studied

    Correct Answer
    A. Had studied
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had studied". This is because the sentence is in the past tense and the word "before" indicates that the action of studying occurred before Joe moved to New York. "Had studied" is the correct past perfect tense form of the verb "study" in this context.

    Correct Answer
    A. Had... seen
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had... seen". This is because the sentence is in the past perfect tense, indicating an action that occurred before another past action. The word "had" is the past perfect form of "have", and "seen" is the past participle form of "see". Therefore, the correct form is "had seen".

    • Had losed

    • Had been lost

    Correct Answer
    A. Had lost
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "had lost" because it is in the past perfect tense, which is used to indicate an action that happened before another past action. In this case, the action of losing the wallet happened before the action of not having any money.

    Mary ________ the test before Sam arrived to class. (take)

    • Has taken

    • Took

    • Had taken

    • B and c

    Correct Answer
    A. B and c
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "took" because it is the simple past tense form of the verb "take". "Took" indicates that Mary completed the action of taking the test before Sam arrived to class. "Has taken" and "had taken" are not correct because they indicate a more recent or past action that is not consistent with the context of the sentence.
