Solution
The correct option is C followed
The tone in the passage suggests that the passage refers to 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.
Therefore option A is incorrect as it is in the present form.Option D 'followed' is in simple past form and therefore is correct.Option B is in past continuous form and cannot be used here, as it refers to an action which happened before and continued after another action.Option C is in past perfect form, and cannot be used here as it refers to something that got completed before another action.
Option D is the correct answer.
