Thank you Susan. Actually, the students taking the test are required to pick only one of the options offered which, as I can see after your explanation, actually doesnt make sense. It is a Chinese grammar test and I guess they can accept only one right thing, and no more than that.
In your explanation sentence " The relative pronoun serves as object" can we put "THE" before "object"- "The relative pronoun serves as THE object"? (It s another inexplicable case of article omission to me
)
There are other problematic questions as well:
1)
Our friendship____________________quickly over the weeks that followed.
Options:
a)had developed b)would develop c)was developing d)developed
2) The manager is said to have arrived back from Paris where he ________________ some European partners.
Options:
a) Would meet b) Had met
Why did they opt for past perfect tense and not past simple when the manager "has arrived", not "arrived"?
Just "met" was not offered as a correct answer. Can it be used?
Thank you so much in advance
