    Correct Answer
    A. I wasn't a student at college until this year.

    B is wrong because you must talk about something BEFORE the time you say when you use 'until'. You graduated last year - at the same time, not before.
    C is wrong because when you use until you talk about something BEFORE - since the time used here is NOW you must use the past tense.
    D is wrong because before the telephone it wasn't easy to do this. It changed when the telephone was invented.
