The telephone ...... several times before I answered it.

  • A.Was ringing
  • B.Has Rung
  • C.Had rung
  • D.Would ring

Answer: C

Correct answer: Had rung

The ringing was complete before the answering, and both are in the past, so the earlier action takes the past perfect.

Was ringing and would ring do not mark the sequence, and has rung ties a past event to the present, which before I answered forbids.
