  1. Question 1

    Q1. The news __________ by the journalist just as the conference was ending.

    • A) was released
    • B) is released
    • C) has been released
    • D) had been released

    Answer: was released

    Explanation: 'was released' correctly uses the simple past tense in passive voice to describe a past action. 'had been released' fails because it implies the action occurred before another past action, which isn't the case here.
