Answer» Out of the GIVEN sentences, the only correct sentence is 3. The sentence USES the past perfect tense form 'had been' in both sentences, showing an activity already happened in the past. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. The correct pronoun and determiner to be used here becomes 'whatever' and not 'whichever', as we are REFERRING to 'life savings'. Option 1 uses the form 'had had left', which is incorrect- 'had had', however, would be correct. Therefore, the correct ANSWER is option 3.
