Answer 1

The correct choice to maintain proper tense and meaning in the sentence is (Choice B) "had never heard."

So the revised sentence would read: "Before last week, Paul had never heard the word 'brouhaha.' Now he notices it everywhere he goes."

This choice correctly uses past perfect tense, which is appropriate for describing an action that occurred before another action in the past.
