JKSSB SI Official Paper (Held On: 08 Dec 2022 Shift 1)

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

"Had saved" is the correct past perfect tense, indicating that the action of saving the document was completed before the computer crashed.
The past perfect tense (had saved) is used to show that one action was completed before another action in the past.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Additional Information

Have save: Is incorrect because the present perfect tense requires "have saved".
Saves: Is incorrect because it is the simple present tense, which does not fit the past context.
Has saved: Is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense and "has" should be used with third person singular subjects, not "I".
