have not revealed

were not being revealed

No substitution

were not revealed

- The original sentence uses "was not revealed," which aligns with the singular subject "much of the truth."

- Option 1: have not revealed - Incorrect; "have" implies a plural subject, which doesn't match "much of the truth."

- Option 2: were not being revealed - Incorrect; "were" suggests a plural subject, whereas "much of the truth" is singular.

- Option 3: No substitution - This retains "was not revealed," which accurately agrees with the singular subject and verb tense.

- Option 4: were not revealed - Incorrect for the same reason as Option 2; "were" is for plural subjects.

Option 3: No substitution is the correct answer.
