Never before had the e-business industry faced as many financial losses and employee cutbacks as they had in the late 1990s.

a. faced as many financial losses and employee cutbacks as they had

b. had to face as many financial losses and employee cutbacks as they had

c. faced the financial losses and employee cutbacks as they had faced

d. had to face as many financial losses and employee cutbacks as

e. faced as many financial losses and employee cutbacks as they faced

a. faced as X as they had

b. had to face as X as they had



d. had to face as X as

e. faced as X as they faced

So the first faced must be SIMPLE PAST and second faced must be in PAST PERFECT

If my logic is right, the answer should be A

I think the first faced must be PAST PERFECT and second faced must be SIMPLE PAST.

past perfect + simple past
