Correct Answer: had shared


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The verb phrase had shared is in the past perfect tense. The use of "had shared" suggests an action that was completed before another past action or a specific time in the past. In the context of the sentence, it indicates that the sharing of the home with the husband occurred before another past event or time that was mentioned.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "The home I had shared with my husband in 1986 still smelled like him."
