The sentence "The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game" is in the past perfect progressive tense. The correct option is C.

Past perfect progressive (also called past perfect continuous) is a verb tense that is used to describe an ongoing action that started in the past and continued up until another point in the past.

It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" in the past tense, followed by "been" and the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb. For example, "I had been studying for three hours before I took a break."

The past perfect progressive tense emphasizes the duration of the action and the continuity of the action up to a specific time in the past. It is often used to describe the background of a past event or to show that one action was in progress when another action happened.

Here in the Question,

Option A (past progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action in the past without indicating that the action continued up until another point in the past.

Option B (present progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action in the present, while the sentence is discussing a past event.

Option D (present perfect progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action that started in the past and continued up to the present, whereas the sentence is discussing an action that occurred entirely in the past.

Therefore, The sentence "The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game" is in the (C) past perfect progressive tense. This tense is used to describe an ongoing action that was happening in the past and continued up until another point in the past.

J. was understating the gravity of the situation. But he could be very smooth when he wanted, and he used his friendliest voice with the reporters, assuring them over the telephone that there really was no problem, just kind of a routine technical situation. Somehow the reporters concluded that the sick monkeys had been "destroyed as a precaution" when in fact the nightmare, and the reason for troops, was that the animals hadn't been destroyed.

Which summary correctly describes the second half of Antigone?
1. Haemon and Creon get into an argument and have a huge falling out. Haemon decides to leave Thebes, along with his mother, Queen
Eurydice. Antigone tries to convince her fiancé, Haemon, to forgive his father by telling him that family is the most important thing. Haemon
follows Antigone's advice and reconciles with his father. Creon is touched and humbled by Antigone's graciousness and forgives her for
defying his order and burying Polyneices. The play ends with Antigone and Haemon happily married and ready to become the new king and
queen of Thebes.
2. Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon
dismisses him and decrees that instead of sentencing Antigone to death, he will entomb her. Antigone puts up a brave face before being
entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she
has killed herself, and he witnesses Haemon stabbing himself. This news reaches Queen Eurydice, who also stabs herself in a fit of grief.
Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.
3. Haemon informs Creon that if Antigone has to die because of his unjust law, he will die with her. This announcement distresses Creon, but
he feels that Haemon is merely threatening him. He's shocked to find Haemon dead in his chambers the next morning. Haemon's death
greatly grieves Queen Eurydice, who soon after stabs herself in the heart. Creon is in deep anguish and realizes how blind he was. To honor
his wife and son's memory, he forgives Antigone. The play ends with Antigone becoming the first female ruler of Thebes. She looks after
Creon like she would have looked after her own father.
4. Haemon lends his father, Creon, his full support after Creon decides to sentence Haemon's fiancée, Antigone, to death. Ismene comes to
Haemon to beg for her sister's life, but Haemon dismisses her. Ismene decides that the only way to save her sister's life is for Haemon and
Antigone to elope. But Antigone refuses to be a coward and run away. She bravely faces the consequences of her actions. The Theban
citizens lament her terrible fate. Isméne cannot bear the thought of living without her sister, who is her last surviving family member, and
poisons herself. The play ends with both the sisters dead and Oedipus' bloodline entirely destroyed.

Read this excerpt from Countee Cullen's poem "The Dark Tower," and then complete the sentences that follow.

We shall not always plant while others reap
The golden increment of bursting fruit,
Not always countenance, abject and mute,
That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap;
Not everlastingly while others sleep . . .

When Cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the injustices present in American society. As these injustices have changed over time, the American has also shifted. Those changes are, in turn, reflected in American literature.
