In the following questions, some part of the sentence is underlined. Which of the options given below the sentence should replace the part underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given then choose option 4 ‘No Correction required’ as the answer. The place contains many precious relics from the days when successor kings had reigned over the kingdom. Correct Answer Successive kings reigned

The word 'successor' means an 'heir' and 'successive' means 'one after the other'. Thus it is clear that the correct word here would be 'successive'. The tense past perfect would be wrong here and simple past tense is correct as the sentence talks about a past activity. Option 3 is thus the correct answer.
