(a) he appointed Ryan before he had become aware
(b) he appointed Ryan before his awareness
(c) he had appointed Ryan prior to his become aware
(d) he had appointed Ryan before becoming aware

According to you answer is (c). But doesnt C sound very awkward.
Specially the part "prior to his become aware". Shouldnt it be "prior to his becoming aware" ?? :neutral:

Discuss Discuss Discuss.
I agree with Kill the CAT. Prior to his become aware" is grammatically incorrect. Acc to me th correct ans shud be option (D).
