Complete the sentence with the correct form of the verb in brackets: When Ben reached the pharmacy at 9:10, he found that it ___ (close) ten minutes earlier.
Ճիշտ պատասխան
had closed
Բացատրություն
Closing happened before Ben reached the pharmacy and discovered its status, so the earlier event needs the past perfect. A past-simple form would not show the same clear relationship to the later discovery.
