Answer 2

By the time I reached the theatre, the film had started.

The correct answer is B) had started.

• The given sentence is in past perfect tense.
• When we want to talk about an action that was finished in the past before another action happened, we use the past perfect tense.
• That is to say, when two events occur in the past, the first event is described using the past perfect tense, while the second event is described using the simple past tense.
• It is also known as pluperfect tense.
• Some other examples of past perfect tense are "The train had just left when I arrived at the station", "She had just left the room when the police arrived", etc.
• "had started" is the past perfect form from the given forms.
• "started" is the simple past tense. "has started" is present perfect. "was started" is not appropriate in this scenario.

Therefore, the correct answer is B) had started.
