Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank in the given sentence:

Oblivious to the fact that the examination _______, I spent the night tormented with anxiety and set off for the centre three hours early.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The speaker was unaware of an event that had already happened before the night of worry, so the past perfect passive had been cancelled is required. Was not cancelled removes the point of the sentence, is being cancelled clashes with the past narrative, and have been cancelled is present perfect and does not agree.
