• D. Carry

Answer 1

The correct option is B Carried

In this sentence we would understand the usage of verb in different tense forms. The tense here represents the verb in past, present or future thus they are in different form but have the same meaning.

Option A is a simple present tense which is used while describing something that happens regularly

Option B is a simple past tense, refers to an event or situation which happened once and is now finished

Option C is past continuous tense which is used while describing an event which has continued for a long period of time

Option D is also a simple present tense, talks about something that is currently happening

In this case, in the sentence an event has been described which has happened in the past and has not continued for a long period of time.

Option B is correct.
