fill in the blank spaces in the following sentences making use of the best of the five options :

Have you paid your taxes up to date? The tax collector inquired if ….

A You have paid your taxes up to date
B I had paid my taxes up to date
C I paid my taxes up to date
D Have I paid my taxes up to date
E I have paid my taxes up to date

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. I had paid my taxes up to date

The phrase “I had paid my taxes up to date” is in the past perfect tense, which is used to indicate that an action was completed (finished or “perfected”) at some point in the past before something else happened.

So, the sentence should read: “The tax collector inquired if I had paid my taxes up to date.” This means that the tax collector asked whether the person had paid their taxes up to the current date.
