At a recent conference, the Transit Authority has stated that the provisions in the clean air act fail to promote mass transit as an alternative to private transportation.
A)has stated that the provision in the Clean Air Act fail
b)stated that the provisions of the Clean Air Act fail
c)has stated that the provisions of the clean air act will fail
d) stated that the provisions in the Clean Air Act are a failure
e)has stated the provisions in the Clean Air Act failed
My doubt is "At a recent conference" -> Simple past or present perfect tense?
Whenever i see "Recent", i am confused whether to go for simple past(event over) or present perfect (even just got over)?.
How do u decide b/w using these two tenses?.
This question is from a Kaplan Test.
