c. Students wanted to study all the books they **had read** during their preparation.

d. The teachers visited all the places they **had visited** in their previous field trips.

e. I could not repair the telephone that **had been damaged** in the storm.

Closing & signature**Explanation:**- The past perfect tense is used to describe an action completed before another past action. It is formed by using **had + past participle**.- In sentence (a), 'had attended' shows the programmes were completed before the desire to highlight them arose.- In sentence (b), 'had obtained' indicates the marks were already secured before being shown.- In sentence (c), 'had read' implies the books were studied before the students wanted to review them.- In sentence (d), 'had visited' suggests the places were already explored before the teachers revisited them.- In sentence (e), 'had been damaged' means the telephone was broken before the repair attempt.
