Pembahasan

Pada soal terdapat keterangan waktu for three weeks dan before + S + V2 ( started ) yang menunjukkan penggunaan Past Perfect Continuous Tense, yaitu tense yang digunakan untuk menyatakan peristiwa yang telah berlangsung selama durasi waktu tertentu dan masih sedang terjadi ketika/sebelum peristiwa lainnya terjadi di masa lampau. Polanya " S + had + been + V-ing " . Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah A. Kalimat secara utuh akan menjadi " They had been incubating their eggs for three weeks before the eggs started to hatch. " yangartinya “Ayam-ayam itu telah mengerami telurnya selama tiga minggu sebelum telur-telur itu menetas.”.
