Dear Community,

Could you please provide your input regarding the following?

Всесторонне обсудив тему, ... .
1. работа была начата
2. было произведено начало работ
3. можно начинать работу
4. работа началась

It seems that 4. is the correct response. However, I'm not certain why each of the other three is incorrect.

Could you explain what it is about the other three that makes them each incorrect?

Thank you for your inut.

Regards,

UDATE: One thanks very much for the great input. One has now understood that one must often think as one in Russian. BTW. German is similar, but Russian, one thinks, goes a step farther, as evidenced, not least, by forms such as the ubiquitous "можно", "нужно" - "one may", "one needs".
