A
was engaged

B
were engaged

'Was engaged' is incorrect because Army personnel is plural (were), not singular (was).
'Had been engaged' in past perfect continuous is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action in the past that began before a certain point in the past and continued up untill that time.
'Have been engaged' in present perfect continuous tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action that started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete.

'Have been fired' in present perfect continuous is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action which started at some point in the past and may or may not be complete.
'Had been fired' in past perfect continuous tense is incorrect because it is used to indicate an action in the past that began before a certain point in the past and continued up untill that time.

Option C is in past continuous form, therefore incorrect, as it indicates an action that started and continued irrespective of another action in the past.
Option B is in past perfect form, therefore incorrect, as it indicates an action that completed before another action in the past.
Option D is in simple past form, therefore incorrect, as it indicates an action that got completed in the past.

On 26th January, Gujarat _____ by a devastating earthquake.

A
was shaken

B
shaken

C
shook

D
was shake

Solution

The events of the paragraph happened 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.

The passive voice of past tense uses the past form of verbs.

'Shook' is the simple past form of 'shake' while 'shaken' is the past participle of 'shake'.
Option B here is incorrect because past participles require helping verbs. Here 'was' is missing.
Option D is wrong form of past tense, therefore incorrect.
Option C is incorrect here, as the sentence requires use of passive voice therefore past participle form should be used.

Option A is the correct answer.
