The (1) village that both of my parents (2) lived when they (3) got married ten years ago (4) has completely changed.
Since this question has no answer, I guess the answer is 4. It should be was completely changed because the village (as a subject) is the thing so it cannot do change itself. But, I also wonder that 3 got married is correct or not.
Please help me solve this question. Thank you

I would say: The village in which / where both of my parents lived when they got married ten years ago has completely changed / has changed completely. Live cannot have the village as its object. Live rarely has any kind of an object.

Thank you. What about got married ? Could it be possible to change it into had got married?

AnintitaCould it be possible to change it into had got married?There's no point in complicating things in that sentence. Use the past tense got married.
