The answer is option C

Gerardo Sloan · Answer 2

Hey!

From what I presume, the answer could be B or C. Choice B contains passive voice as it uses the word "had". Choice C seems a bit incomplete as the end of the sentence seems too much off a cliff hanger. Choice D is using incorrect subject verb agreement, as well as choice A. I would go with B, if passive voice deems well within your classroom.
