Correct Answer: had been doing


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation: The phrase "had been doing" is in the past perfect continuous tense, which is suitable for indicating a continuous action that was happening before another event in the past. In the context of the sentence, it conveys that Ravindra was engaged in a certain type of work continuously before the doctor's expectation of his recovery from dengue.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The doctor knew that Ravindra would recover from dengue soon and had been doing the kind of work he was doing before."
