were not revealed

- The original sentence is in the passive voice and past tense: "was not revealed." It indicates that the truth remained undisclosed.

- Option 1: have not revealed

- Incorrect grammar usage with "much of the truth." "Have" suggests present perfect tense, which doesn’t fit the past context.

- Option 2: were not being revealed

- This implies an ongoing action in the past, which doesn’t match the context.

- Option 3: No substitution

- The original sentence correctly conveys past context with passive voice. No changes are needed.

- Option 4: were not revealed

- Similar meaning to original but less suitable as the past simple tense might not emphasize the aspect of the truth remaining undisclosed.
