Answer:

Alice felt very pleased with herself. She <em><u>had found</u></em> what she was looking for.

Explanation:

The past perfect tense is used to talk of an event that happened in the past and is followed by another event that also is in the past. This means that a past perfect tense talks of an event that is already done and finished sometime in the past.

In the given sentence, the speaker mentions<em> "Alice is pleased with herself."</em> The word <em>"pleased" </em>shows it is in the past. But the next sentence talks of an event that occurs before she was <em>"pleased"</em>, meaning the second event led to the first event. This means that Alice's happiness was a result of the second sentence.

In this situation, the verb in the second sentence will be in the past perfect tense, as it describes an event that happened first.

Thus, the correct answer will be "had found".

What line does shakespeare throw in to honor king james
maks197457 [2]
People have often wondered if William Shakespeare had any involvement in the most important writing project of his time, the translation and prepartation of the King James Bible. Although there are no ways to verify this, at least one set of clues indicates Shakespeare probably had some involvement with at least the Old Testament part of the book.

William Shakespeare lived from 1564-1616.  The creation of the King James Bible began in the year 1610, the year in which Shakespeare would have been 46 years old.

If you turn to Psalm 46 in the King James Bible, and if you count exactly 46 words into the psalm, you find the word "shake."  If you count 46 words back from the end of that psalm, you will find the word "spear."

It just seems too coincidental to think that it was by fluke circumstances that the 46th Psalm would be translated around the time of Shakespeare's 46th birthday and that the 46th word from the start and the 46th word from the end would be "shake" and "spear."  My professional opinion is, Shakespeare translated that section of the King James Bible and he slipped in a secret byline to prove it was his work.

Dr. Dennis E. Hensley is director of the professional writing department at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana.  He holds four degrees in linguistics and literature, including a Ph.D. in English from Ball State University.  He is the author of 52 books.
