Giải thích

Đáp án D.

Câu gốc dùng cấu trúc: “People say that...”. Đáp án A, B và C sai về ngữ pháp.

Vì trong câu gốc V₁ (said) ở quá khử đơn, V₂ (had demolished) ờ quá khứ hoàn thành nên khi chuyển sang dạng bị động V₂ phải đổi thành “to have been demolished” dạng bị động cho phù hợp với chủ ngữ mới là “The building”.

Tạm dịch: Mọi người bảo là tòa nhà đã bị phá hủy.
