I. The correct answer is 1. HAD STARTED, NEEDED.
To get the answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense for both clauses in the sentence.
- "Robin Hood ... stealing from the rich" indicates a past action, so we need to use the past tense. The correct form is "had started".
- "when the poor ... help to survive" indicates a present or ongoing need, so we need to use the present tense. The correct form is "needed".
II. The correct answer is 2. PASSED, HAD TOLD.
To get the answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense for both clauses in the sentence.
- "The ancient Greeks ... on stories" indicates a past action, so we need to use the past tense. The correct form is "passed".
- "that their forefathers ... them" indicates a past action that happened before the first past action, so we need to use the past perfect tense. The correct form is "had told".
III. The correct answer is 4. HAD READ, WAS.
To get the answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense for both clauses in the sentence.
- "She ... most of those legends" indicates a past action, so we need to use the past tense. The correct form is "had read".
- "by the time she ..._10" indicates a past action that was happening simultaneously with the first past action, so we need to use the past continuous tense. The correct form is "was".
IV. The correct answer is 4. HELPED, HAVE WORKED.
To get the answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense for both clauses in the sentence.
- "Early stories ... people understand" indicates a past action, so we need to use the past tense. The correct form is "helped".
- "how the world ..." doesn't specify a particular time frame, so it can be considered a general truth. In this case, we use the present perfect tense. The correct form is "have worked".
V. The correct answer is 1. STUDIES, HAD PROVIDED.
To get the answer, we need to identify the correct verb tense for both clauses in the sentence.
- "The myths that we ..." indicates a past action, so we need to use the past tense. The correct form is "had studied".
- "before we went ..." indicates a past action that happened before the first past action, so we need to use the past perfect tense. The correct form is "had provided".
