Option A, which is in the simple past tense, describes an action which occurred in past. Therefore it is incorrect. Option B is in simple present tense and Option C is in the present perfect tense. Therefore, Option D, which is in past perfect tense, is correct.

____2____ the shelf reaching right up to the ceiling.

A
finished

B
has finished

C
had finished

D
was finishing

Solution

Here, 'finished' in Simple Past Tense is correct because it indicates an action that has already been completed. Here, the shelf was 'finished' (an action that has already been completed).
'Had finished' in past perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place.
'Has finished' in present perfect is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up untill now.
'Was finishing' in past continuous is incorrect because it is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).

His companions ___6___ his example and, in a short time,

A
follow

B
were following

C
had followed

D
followed

Solution

The tone in the passage suggests that the passage refers to the past.
Past tense expresses an action or situation that was started and finished in the past. Most past tense verbs end in “-ed”. The irregular verbs have special past tense forms which must be memorized, like "left" is the past form of leave. For example – Last night, I finished my entire holidays' homework.

Therefore option A is incorrect as it is in the present form.
Option D 'followed' is in simple past form and therefore is correct.
Option B is in past continuous form and cannot be used here, as it refers to an action which happened before and continued after another action.
Option C is in past perfect form, and cannot be used here as it refers to something that got completed before another action.

Option D is the correct answer.

Solution

Option A is the correct answer.

A pair of sunglasses ___6___ in it.

A

B
are also seen

C
also see

D

Solution

The first sentence is in past perfect continuous tense.So the construction of the given sentence which is related to the first sentence should be in past tense, and 'a pair of sunglasses' is a collective noun, which denotes a singular subject. So, option D is correct. Option A,B,C are in simple present tense , so they are inappropriate for the sentence. the completed sentence:a pair of sunglasses was also seen in it.

A
is

B
are

C
was

D

Solution

Here, 'were' is correct in Simple Past Tense because it indicates an action that has already been completed.
'Was' is incorrect because the subject is in plural (a pair of pyjamas and a pair of jeans). Thus, with plural subject, plural verb (were) is correct.
'Is/are' is incorrect because the passage is in past tense, as indicated by the first line 'had been lying...for about three days'.

____4____ enough money to meet the cost.

A
does not have

B
did not have

C
was not having

D
had not had

Solution

b"The first sentence of the paragraph indicates that it is talking about an event that happened on some day in the past.
Past tense expresses an action or situation that was started and finished in the past. Most past tense verbs end in “-ed”. The irregular verbs have special past tense forms which must be memorized, like "left" is the past form of leave. For example – Last night, I finished my entire holidays' homework.

Option A, therefore, is incorrect as it is in the present form.
Option B is the correct choice, it represents a simple past form.
Option C is in the past continuous tense, which is used when we refer to an event which continues irrespective of the completion of the corresponding action. Eg. He jumped off the train while it was raining.
Option D is in past perfect form and is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place. Therefore is the incorrect choice.

Option B is the right answer.
