From the words or group of words below, choose the words or group of words that best complete each of the following sentence
As at yesterday only nomination papers in respect of three candidates
A. Have being filled B. Are been filled C. Had been filled D. Has been filled
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
"Had been filled" is a past perfect tense, which shows that an action happened, not recently but in the past; the earlier past. The adverb of time, yesterday, denotes the past. Note that has been filled is a singular present perfect tense, and so inappropriate for a plural noun, nomination papers.
