Concept: When we have a series of events that occurred in the past and ended the past, the last of the events entails a simple past and the previous events, any number, one or more, will entail past perfect.
In the given issue
First event: In the 1950s, Mother wanted to form an orphanage
Second event: her adversaries scoffed at her
Third and the last event: in a span of 15 years, a resolute missionary will had made her dream come true
As per the thumb rule, the last event should be in the simple past as - a resolute missionary will made her dream come true -
The previous two events will take on the past perfect verbs as – Mother had wanted to …….. And her adversaries had scoffed at her
B only wins the tense debate, doesn’t it? Well! that has not come out as a choice so far.
