    Question

    Choose the most suitable option to fill in the blanks

    in the sentences below. The restaurant I had dinner at ___________ expensive, but the food and staff were great.
    A had been Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B were Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C is Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D was Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E will be Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Answer: d is correct. Let’s try to examine all options first. Options b is ruled out as ‘the restaurant’ is singular whereas ‘were’ denoted plurality. Option c is in the present tense whereas we already know that the sentence is in past tense. ‘Had been’ denotes a past continuous tense where the dinner is already over. Option ‘e’ is also unsuitable as the sentence is in past tense and ‘will be’ denotes future tense. Thus, we will reject options a, b and c.
