Q1. Choose the most appropriate option to complete the given sentence. They withheld his results. He ________ the proof of his age.
A has not furnished
B had not furnished Correct
C didn't furnish
D doesn't furnish
Explanation
The sentence reports that the results were withheld, so the missing clause must refer to an action that had not been completed before that past decision. "Had not furnished" correctly uses the past perfect to show the earlier non-submission of age proof. "Has not furnished" links the action to the present, which does not fit the past reporting frame. "Didn't furnish" is simple past and does not clearly mark the earlier cause. "Doesn't furnish" is present simple and is grammatically unsuitable here.
