Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur has already been teaching there for five years.

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The past perfect tense "had already been teaching" should have been used as it indicates an action that was completed before another past action. The past perfect tense is more suitable for expressing the sequence of events in the past.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "When Mrs. Sinha came to see Varanasi in 2019, Nupur had already been teaching there for five years."
