From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
…….home, his dead uncle’s burial had already taken place.
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
"When he got home, his dead uncle's burial had already taken place."
The burial had already taken place by the time he arrived. It doesn't imply that the burial happened as he arrived, but rather that the burial was completed before his arrival. So, "when he got home" is the most suitable choice.
