Sorry, I ..... you were speaking to me.

Ahadn’t realised

Bdidn't realise

Chaven't realised

Dnone of these

Answer:

B. didn't realise

Read Explanation:

  • "Didn't realise" is in the simple past tense, which is appropriate here because it indicates a specific action (realising) that did not happen in the past.
  • "Didn't realise" correctly indicates that the speaker was unaware in the past that the other person was speaking to them (സ്പീക്കർക്ക് മറ്റൊരാൾ തങ്ങളോട് സംസാരിക്കുന്നത് അറിഞ്ഞിരുന്നില്ല എന്ന് കൃത്യമായി സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു)
    • "Sorry, I didn't realise you were speaking to me." / ക്ഷമിക്കണം, നിങ്ങൾ എന്നോട് സംസാരിക്കുകയാണെന്ന് എനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലായില്ല.
  • "Hadn't realised" is in the past perfect tense, ഇത് ഭൂതകാലത്തിലെ മറ്റൊരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തിന് മുമ്പ് പൂർത്തിയാക്കിയ ഒരു പ്രവർത്തനത്തെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കാൻ ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു. It can be correct, but it often implies that the realisation happened before the person was speaking, which might not be necessary for this context.
  • "Haven't realised" is in the present perfect tense, which is used to indicate an action that happened at an unspecified time before now. It does not fit well here because the context is clearly about a past event.
