  1. I was exhausted at the end of the exam. I .......... Two essays for over two hours.

a.had been writing b.have been writing c.had written d.have written

Help me out here, the important note is the following, the emphasized action is the prolonged writing, which lead to the exhaustion,

the other argument is; Given there is a number stated " TWO essays" therefore i cannot use the continouse tense, and must use "had written".

WHICH IS IT? MY EXAM IS TMR!
