Why not "At the moment the house had burgled the family was attending"?

Option 'C' seems more correct as "At the moment the house was burgled the family was attending a night party in the neighbourhood" makes sense.

Even I do feel the same that the statement should be "at the moment the house was burgled the family was attending. ".

Compared to A, the more correct answer is C as commented above.

Can anyone tell me the basic rules of doing these type of questions i.e. finding grammatical error?

@Pillai and @Vimal seems right.

It's what I think too.

Tejeswar said:   9 years ago
Yes, Option C seems more appropriate.

@All.

Option C can be corrected by adding helping verb and ing to attend but option a can be corrected by omitting "at". These kinds of errors set by examiners mainly focus on the omission of certain words.

'At the moment' means right now. 'The moment' means a specific time.

"The" is an error here because we know one thing that is the comes when any definite case happens.

But here when the family attended in a party and they don't know when burgled was happen.

For that reason, will not come here.
