1) had been donated
2)were being donated
3)have been donated
4)ws being donated

should be 4) was being donated.

huge sum of money = singular
said = past tense

I thought it should be 1) had been donated. As the singaporeans donated the money first then the report came out..my kid said he had been taught this before in tuition as a timeline question

DS was pondering between \"had been\" and \"was being\".... at the end he decided it should be \"had been\"...
