Answer 2

Explanation for correct option

a:

1. To create the past perfect tense, take the past tense of the verb "to have," which is "had", and combine it with the main verb's past participle.
2. Subject + had + past participle, for example, equals past perfect tense.
3. The phrase "had already" refers to the past perfect tense and indicates that some action was completed at a specific point in the past.
4. Thus, the correct sentence is-

He was only nineteen years old, but he had already developed a great sense of humour.

Explanation for incorrect options

b,c,d:

The phrases- "already", "had still" and "was just" are in the present perfect tense and indicate that something that began in the past is still ongoing.

Thus, options b,c,d are incorrect.

Hence, option a) is correct.
