Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

What do you think_______me?

• A. Told
• B. They told
• C. Didn't tell
• D. Did he tell

Answer 1

The correct option is B They told

The blank in the given interrogative sentence refers to an action already completed in the past. Thus, the verb will be in simple past tense.
"Told" in option A is a transitive verb but is missing the pronoun which indicates the indirect object. Thus, this is incorrect.
"They told" in option B is correct as the transitive verb 'told' requires two objects, direct and indirect. The pronoun 'they' is the indirect object and 'me' is the direct object.
Options C and D are incorrect as they use the present participle form of the transitive verb 'tell'.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
