Medium
Choose the most appropriate phrase from the options given below to complete the following sentence.
The aircraft ______________ take off as soon as its flight plan was filed.
- Ais allowed to
- Bwill be allowed to
- was allowed to
- Dhas been allowed to
Explanation
The sentence describes a past event ('was filed'), so the verb phrase must also be in a matching past tense: 'was allowed to' correctly agrees with the past-tense clock of the sentence, unlike the present, future, or present-perfect forms in the other options.
