إجابة الطالب المختصرة من خلال موقع بوابة الإجابات هي
had started.
By the time he arrived, we **had finished** eating.
While "had been eating" is grammatically correct, "had finished" implies a completed action before his arrival, which is the most likely and natural meaning in this context.
Here are a few options with slightly different meanings:
* **had been eating:** This implies that we were in the process of eating for some time before he arrived.
* **were eating:** This implies we started eating shortly before he arrived, or that we might still have been eating when he got there.
* **had started** eating, This implies that we only started the meal before he arrived, but that it had not yet completed.
