Direction: In the following questions, sentences are given with blanks to be filled in with an appropriate word (s). Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four.

  1. Hamid .................. in Mumbai for three years when his parents came to visit.
    1. has lived
    2. had lived
    3. was living
    4. had been living
Correct Option: D

The sentence expresses a longer action in the Past (Hamid, living) before another action
(came to visit). So, Past Perfect Continuous Tense had been living is the right usage
