I have a question similar to this. Now, could someone please explain why "had grown" is the correct choice? And why is "be" removed from the original sentence?

Thank you.

I have a problem similar to the question posted here. Now, could someone please explain why "had grown" is the correct choice? Also, is there any reason why "be" was removed from the original sentence (according to Alex-93's post).

Thank you.
