A. "have heard" - This option uses the present perfect tense, which is appropriate because it indicates that the action of hearing about all the vacancies being filled occurred at some unspecified time in the past and is relevant to the present moment. The speaker stopped writing letters of application because of this past event, and the effect of that event continues into the present.
B. "had heard" - This option uses the past perfect tense, which indicates that the action of hearing about all the vacancies being filled occurred before another past action. However, since there is no clear indication of another past action in the sentence, the past perfect tense is not necessary here.
C. "heard" - This option uses the simple past tense, indicating that the action of hearing about all the vacancies being filled occurred at a specific point in the past. While grammatically correct, it doesn't convey the connection between the past action and the present situation as effectively as the present perfect tense does.
D. "hear" - This option uses the present tense, which is not appropriate in this context because it doesn't indicate that the action occurred in the past. It suggests that the speaker is currently hearing about the vacancies being filled, which doesn't align with the context of the sentence.
Therefore, "have heard" (option A) is the most appropriate choice as it accurately conveys that the action of hearing about all the vacancies being filled occurred in the past and has relevance to the present situation, leading the speaker to stop writing letters of application.
Rule:
Have will always come after Have.
Past tense will follow Past tense.
Also, had is not possible in the context cuz, no definite time was being referred to.
