Tenses manakah yang melengkapkan “We … good news … but the numbers we … were disappointing”?

Soalan

We ... good news from our Berlin branch but the numbers we ... were disappointing.

Pilihan jawapan

1. expected ... get
2. had expected ... had got
3. had expected ... got
4. expected ... had got

Penjelasan

Jangkaan berita gembira datang sebelum keputusan yang mengecewakan diterima. Past Perfect, had expected, menyatakan peristiwa terdahulu itu.

Menerima angka adalah peristiwa lalu yang utama, jadi gunakan Past Simple, got. “The numbers we got” bermaksud angka yang kami terima.
