A. worked B.has worked C. had worked D. had been working
the right answer is ?
#1 could be B or D.
#2 could be A, B, or D.
It depends on the context and meaning of the sentence.
Assuming these don't have a larger context,
1. b
2. a
Also, who says "Why!"? Sounds very unnatural to me (I'm American).
Thanks.
But could you explain the why?
Using "Why" as an exclamation sounds to American ears very old-fashioned. Maybe some really really old people still stay that, but you would be very hard-pressed to find it in common speech or modern literature.
