Solution
The correct option is B did not have 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.
