C) The movie had barely begun when the house lights went on and someone began screaming "He did it! He did it!"

Explanation:

That is the option that uses the past tenses correctly. It shows simple past, past perfect and past continuous.

The simple past is used for actions that happened before now. "...the house lights went on..."

Past perfect is used for actions that were completed before some point in the past, in this case, it is used in "The movie had barely begun..." that happened before the house lights went on.

And finally, past continuous, it refers to an action that was happening at some point in the past. In the sentence example, it is reflected in "... someone began screaming.." That was happening while the lights went on.

I hope this answer helps you.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
