Correct Answer: had being


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : The correct form of "to be" for this sentence is "been", which should be used in the sentence, as the sentence is in the past perfect continuous tense. Thus, it should be "had been" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: My brother had been cracking jokes.
