Answer

The answer is past perfect.

Explanation
Option 1: past

The past tense is used to describe actions that have already happened. However, the sentence "We had asked the Pastor to dinner several times" indicates an action that was completed before another past action, which is not simply past tense.

Option 2: present perfect

The present perfect tense describes actions that occurred at an unspecified time before now. It uses "have" or "has" plus the past participle. The sentence does not fit this structure.

Option 3: future perfect

The future perfect tense describes actions that will be completed before a specified point in the future. It uses "will have" plus the past participle. The sentence does not fit this structure.

Option 4: present

The present tense describes actions happening now. The sentence does not describe a current action.

Option 5: past perfect

The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another action in the past. It uses "had" plus the past participle. The sentence "We had asked the Pastor to dinner several times" fits this structure, indicating that the action of asking was completed before another past action.

Option 6: future

The future tense describes actions that will happen. The sentence does not describe a future action.
