Celebrations begun in the school after it was announced they had won the championship.

A. begun in the school

B. began in the school

C. begin the school

D. began the school

E. begun by the school


[textarea]This is a SC Butler Question

IMO B

The sentence is in the past tense hence we need to use Began instead of begin.. o any other verb forms. C, D ,E lack pre-position.

B is the best possible answer

My answer is (B). It took me 23 seconds.

(AE) can be immediately eliminated because they use "begun" without "have/had".

(C) is eliminated before the whole sentence talked about a past event.

(D) is out because it conveys a nonsensical meaning.

Celebrations begun in the school after it was announced they had won the championship.

So it has past perfect tense, so there must be simple past tense, if it has more than 1 verb, which is present in B.
