View answer & explanationHide answer & explanation
Correct answer
Had been
Why this answer is correct
The sentence is in the perfect continuous tense which can be noticed because of the usage of "been".
When you see "would have" in a sentence it means that the action didn't actually happen, because something else didn't happen first.
From the sentence we know that the "event" has already happened.
Hence the correct answer is "had been" as it would convey the correct tense, which is the past perfect continuous.
Option 2 is correct.
