Choose the grammatically correct option from the following.

Question

Poetic Devices: Identify the poetic device used in the following line: "The wind whispered through the trees."

Answer 1

The single clue “yesterday” decides this whole question, since specific past-time words in English always call for the simple past tense.

Option A: Present perfect (“have completed”) is reserved for actions without a specific past time stated; pairing it with “yesterday” breaks this rule.
Option B: “Did” already carries the past tense, so the verb after it must be in its base form (“complete”), not the participle (“completed”).
Option C: “Have had completed” is not a valid English tense form at all.
Option D: Simple past “completed” pairs correctly with the specific past marker “yesterday”.

So the correct answer is option D.
