Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) and (D) only
(A) It is time we left for the station, or we will miss the Shatabdi. — Correct.
- After “It is time” + subject, the verb takes its past form (“left”), though the meaning is now.
(B) When have you bought this phone? It looks brand new. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “When have you bought”.
- A question with “when” asks about a fixed past time, so it takes the simple past with “did”, not the present perfect.
- Correct form: When did you buy this phone? It looks brand new.
(C) I will send you the photos after I will charge my phone tonight. — Incorrect.
- The given sentence says “after I will charge”.
- In a time part with “after”, a future action takes the simple present, not “will”.
- Correct form: I will send you the photos after I charge my phone tonight.
(D) Neha told us that she had lost her library card. — Correct.
- After a past reporting verb like “told”, an earlier past action moves to the past perfect: had + past participle (V3).
