Question

Choose the correct alternative to fill in the blanks.


The old Neem tree which_______ in our compound for fifty years suddenly crashed to the ground last night.

A.

had stood

B.

has stood

C.

has standing

D.

More than one of the above

E.

None of the above

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) "had stood". This sentence requires the use of the past perfect tense, indicated by "had stood", which describes an action that was completed in the past before another past action. The tree's standing occurred over fifty years and ended when it crashed, which makes the past perfect tense appropriate to indicate the sequence of events.
