[amp_mcq option1=”have finished \/ had arrived” option2=”will have finished \/ arrive” option3=”finished \/ have arrived” option4=”finished \/ had arrived E. finish \/ would arrive” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: A. have finished \/ had arrived<\/p>\n

The sentence is in the past perfect progressive tense, which is used to talk about an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past. In this case, the specific time is when we finished our preparations for the congress. The past perfect progressive tense is formed with the past participle of the verb “to finish” (finished), the past participle of the verb “to be” (been), and the present participle of the verb “to arrive” (arriving).<\/p>\n

The other options are incorrect because they do not use the past perfect progressive tense. Option B, will have finished \/ arrive, is in the future perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that will be completed at a specific time in the future. Option C, finished \/ have arrived, is in the simple past tense, which is used to talk about an action that was completed at a specific time in the past. Option D, finished \/ had arrived, is also in the past perfect tense, but it uses the past participle of the verb “to be” (been) instead of the present participle (arriving). Option E, finish \/ would arrive, is in the conditional perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that would be completed if a certain condition were met.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the correct answer is A. have finished \/ had arrived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
