'We had managed ... ' Identify the tense of the underlined expression.
Answer: D
'had managed' is in the Past Perfect tense.
The past perfect is formed with had + past participle (had managed, had gone, had seen). It describes an action completed before another point in the past. Here the narrator had got the tickets before the evening of the play that the rest of the story describes.
The past indefinite (simple past) would be 'we managed', with no auxiliary. The present perfect uses has/have + past participle ('we have managed'), and the present continuous uses am/is/are + -ing ('we are managing'). Neither has had.
