English Tense Tense Question #5885 (CAT-I)

I ______ this novel in 1985.

A have written

B wrote

C had written

D was writing

Correct Answer & Explanation

Option B

• The year '1985' is a specific past point in time. • When an action occurred at a definite point in the past, the Simple Past Tense (V2) is used. • 'Wrote' is the simple past form of 'write'. • Options A (Present Perfect), C (Past Perfect), and D (Past Continuous) are incorrect because they are not used with specific past time references like a year.
