Question

my question is
wether to use the firs expression or the second one in this sentence .
the meeting .............due to our manager's illness
a_ had called off 
b_was called off 
thank you

Answer

b is the answer
actually a doesn't make any sense

Answer

The correct answer is B. If you want to use the first expression, you must rewrite it as "The meeting had *been* called off"

Hope this helps :)
