The patient had died before the doctor came.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. No substitution.

  • The sentence "The patient had died before the doctor came" is already grammatically correct, and no substitution is needed.
  • Because when two consecutive past events are shown, past perfect tense is used with the former action, and simple past tense is used with the following action.
