Correct Answer: had returned


Solution : The correct answer is the first option .

Explanation:

The sentence is referring to an action that occurred in the past. Thus, to make the sentence grammatically correct, had return should be replaced with had returned , as it is the correct verb form to use in the sentence as per the past perfect tense. The auxiliary verb had is usually supported by the third form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The palace was in turmoil because Sikhandi had returned .
