Which of these options do you think is correct ?
1. Government Officials announced that restrictions on the use of water would continue because no appreciative increase in the level of the river resulted from the intermittent showers that had fallen throughout the area the day before
2. Government Officials announced that restrictions on the use of water would continue because no appreciative increase in the level of the river had resulted from the intermittent showers that had fallen throughout the area the day before
The correct answer given by GMAC is Option 2
I felt the correct answer is the one saying 'resulted from' and not 'had resulted from'. Since had is used in the later part of the sentence, won't it be better to use simple past here ? Had is generally used to show the difference in time frame of two past events right ? In that case, it should be 'resulted from' right ?
Any thoughts guys ?

Neither is correct, but that's because you've not put the second option down correctly (it uses appreciable, not appreciative). That's by far the easiest way to remove option A (or 1 in your list). The resulted/had resulted point might be debatable, and that's probably why the question has the clear appreciable/appreciative split in it.
