John's instagram account has been deactivated for two years. He decides to reactivate it. After he does, he comes up to his friend and says the following to him:
1. I've just reactivated my instagram account. It was/had been deactivated for two years.
2. My instagram account was/had been deactivated for two years. I've just reactivated it.
In the above two sentences, should the simple past "was" or the past perfect "had been" be used? Thanks.
