No one cared for the boy after his father died.

(2) took care of the boy after his father had died
(3) took the boy for care after his father's death
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The phrase "cared for the boy after his father died" should be replaced with "took care of the boy after his father had died" to convey the intended meaning that no one began to take care of the boy after his father passed away. Here, "his father died" should be replaced with "his father had died", as the past perfect tense is used for the action that happened earlier than another action.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: No one took care of the boy after his father died.
