Ram said that his car _____ stolen.

Ais

Bhas been

Chad

Dhad been

Answer:

D. had been

Read Explanation:

  • "Had been" is the past perfect tense, which correctly indicates that the car was stolen before the time Ram was speaking. / റാം സംസാരിക്കുന്ന സമയത്തിന് മുമ്പ് കാർ മോഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടുവെന്ന് കൃത്യമായി സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു. It fits the context of reporting a past event relative to another past time.
    • "Ram said that his car had been stolen." / തൻ്റെ കാർ മോഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടതായി റാം പറഞ്ഞു.
  • "Had" is the past perfect tense, but it is incomplete in this context. It needs to be followed by "been" to indicate that the action was completed before another past event. (മറ്റൊരു മുൻകാല ഇവൻ്റിന് മുമ്പ് പ്രവർത്തനം പൂർത്തിയായി എന്ന് സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ "been" എന്നത് വേണം.)
  • "Has been" is the present perfect tense.
  • "Is" is the present tense.
