Correct Answer: I had not been


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : This sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error. Here, I had not been, is a valid substitution. It uses the past perfect tense representing the passive structure, indicating that the lack of invitation occurred before a specified point in the past.

Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "I did not attend the meeting because I had not been invited."
