A. yet within twenty years a powerful municipal had made this boast a reality
B. yet within twenty years a powerful municipal made this boast a reality
C. yet a powerful municipal within twenty years will make this boast a reality
D. yet this boast had become a reality within twenty years because of a powerful will municipally
E. yet within twenty years a municipal will had made this boast a powerful reality

OA is A

Would go with B. Past perfect doesn't make any sense over here..
Whats the source?

I also chose B

The sentence says that san francisco mocked at the claim that los angles as world city and the latter has made this possible in twenty years.
If the sequence is in past as in this question one must be in past and the in past perfect.
"mocked","had made" is correct

A

Yes we do have two actions... So, one must be in the past and d oder in past perfect...
But the event of municipal making this boast a reality occurred after San Franciscans mocked the claim.....
So, we cant have the later part in past perfect...It would be fine to have the first part in past perfect but we cant change dat part as that has not been underlined...

So How can A be correct?
The source is kaplan test...

Agree with Adi. I am still not sure why A is the answer. Request expert advice.

No doubt.two different tense forms are required here.

But as Adi Posted ..one must be in the past and d oder in past perfect...
But the event of municipal making this boast a reality occurred after San Franciscans mocked the claim.....
So, we cant have the later part in past perfect

Adi,

OA A is correct. You and other people are seeing an issue because you didn't post proper sentence.

Proper sentence is as follows. You missed will in original sentence. Here will is not future tence, here will is guts or will power

San Franciscans of the 1890s mocked the claim that declared Los Angeles a world city, yet within twenty years a powerful municipal will had made this boast a reality .

A. yet within twenty years a powerful municipal will had made this boast a reality
B. yet within twenty years a powerful municipal will made this boast a reality
C. yet a powerful municipal within twenty years will make this boast a reality
D. yet this boast had become a reality within twenty years because of a powerful will municipally
E. yet within twenty years a municipal will had made this boast a powerful reality

Makes a lot more sense now with one missing word added.

Hey sudhanshu,
Are you sure about option B here? "will made" looks odd to me.

I didn't follow your question

Ok here what I think. Do not see 'will' as verb. 'municipal will' is noun here. 'twenty years' are before 1890. if you think like that then A makes complete sense.
