Answer 2

Telephones were such a rarity. (Simple Past Tense)

Telephones had been such a rarity (Past Perfect Tense)

Explanation:

• The simple past is a form of verb tense which is generally used to talk about things that that took place or existed prior to the present. The simple past tense tells us that we are talking about something which has already  taken place. Examples, Sohan lived in Shimla for 10 years, Richard sailed  to the UK in the year 1996
• Past perfect tense is a form of verb tense that talks about actions which  were completed or had taken place before some point in the past. It is used to indicate that one thing has happened in the past. What event is mentioned first doesn't matter – the tense indicates which event happened first.  The rule  for the past perfect tense is had+[past participle]. It does not matter if the 'subject is plural/singular'; the rule does not change. Examples,  Alice had met Shawn him before the event, Amar wished he had asked for another chocolate, She understood physics very well, because she had been tutored by her teacher all week.
