Question 1 Report

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences:

John said he had never .........insulted in his life

Answer Details
The correct answer is "been so". The sentence is in the past perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that was completed before another action in the past. In this case, the first action is John's life up until the time he made the statement, and the second action is the statement he made. The past perfect tense is formed using "had" + the past participle of the verb. The verb in this sentence is "insult", and the past participle of "insult" is "insulted". Therefore, the correct sentence is "John said he had never been insulted in his life." This means that John had never experienced someone insulting him up until the time he made the statement.
