Because his father<u> had taken</u> his ten-speed bike away to punish him for his failing grades, the boy sulked for two days.
The use of correct grammar and tense in a sentence is important to make a meaningful sentence that is grammatically correct.
In the field of English grammar, we use the past perfect tense when representing the occurrence of an action before another action in the past time.
In the sentence above, the father taking the past was the first action that occurred in the past and the sulking was another action that occurred in the past after the first action. Hence, the past perfect form of the tense will be used to fill in the blank i.e had taken.
Although a part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this question: "Because his father ____[D]______ his ten-speed bike away to punish him for his failing grades, the boy sulked for two days.
A. took B. taken C. had took D. had taken"
