Hi broall,
Could you please throw some light on my below doubt.
Option A is wrong because we shouldn't use past perfect tense here. Past perfect tense is used when we need to depict an even that started in the past and has already finished or when 2 events occur in the past and we need to show their chronology.
Also, if we have a look at option A logically, it means that the "area" was massive and is no more massive. --Isn't this illogical?
I chose D because the fact that area is massive is not depicted as an event of past.
Regards
