He can also "look after" his aunt at his younger age too. So I think there's nothing incorrect in the sentence.

I think 'he was looking for' is more correct than 'he was looked after' correct sentence.

In option (A) Arun's parents HAD died is the correct form.

In option A, we can consider using "but" instead of "and" which justifies the statement.

Can anyone explain please? When to use 'by' as per the above statement?

The passive voice is "His aunt looked after him".

Shubham said:   6 years ago
I think 'he was looked after his aunt' is right which makes the sentence in passive voice talking about someone (the person who looked him).

I think it's past perfect.

In option c "who had no children" instead of had if I put has, is it correct?

I don't think there is any "grammatical" error in this sentence.
