B is the answer
The answer is B
Yes, the answer is D) "I owned that shop in the year you were born." This sentence uses the past simple tense, not the past perfect tense.
To know which sentence uses the past perfect verb tense, it is important to understand what the past perfect tense is. The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that occurred before another action in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
In option A) "By June, I will have owned the camera shop for a decade," the future perfect tense is used ("will have owned"), not the past perfect tense.
In option B) "After it was sold, I had owned the camera shop for 12 years," the past perfect tense is used correctly. The verb "had owned" indicates that the ownership of the camera shop occurred before another action in the past (the sale of the shop).
In option C) "I cannot recall a time when I have not owned some kind of shop," the present perfect tense is used ("have not owned"), not the past perfect tense.
So, the correct answer is option B) "After it was sold, I had owned the camera shop for 12 years."
