Question

    Choose the correct alternative which will improve the

    quoted part of the given sentence. We demonstrated to them, how we ‘were prepared’ the drawings.
    A Are prepared Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Have prepare Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Had prepared Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No improvement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    were prepared is grammatically incorrect. Were is in simple past tense but in the sentence ,past perfect tense must be used because when two events occur in the past with one event preceding the other ,the first even takes the past perfect tense form of the verb and the second event takes the simple past tense. Have prepare is wrong because with perfect tense we use the past participle of the verb and also have is used in the perfect perfect tense.So had prepared is the correct sentence.
