Answer 2

Question:

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

The Sentence:

Before I met your brother I (have had) a poor opinion of him.

Answer:

Before I met your brother I had a poor opinion of him.

Option (B) had is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A) had had

Before I met your brother I had had a poor opinion of him.

This sentence doesn't make sense as ut has two 'had'. And hence, it's wrong.

B) had

Before I met your brother I had a poor opinion of him.

This makes sense and also the most appropriate one.

And hence, it's correct.

C) did have

Before I met your brother I did had a poor opinion of him.

This isn't appropriate to the question and hence it's wrong.

D) no improvement

Before I met your brother I no improvement a poor opinion of him.

This is chaotic and doesn't makes sense.

And hence, it's wrong.

Therefore, Option (B) had is the correct answer.
