11th Jan, 2024
Correct Answer: drank
Solution : The first option is correct.
- The sentence is in the past tense, so the correct verb form to use is the past simple.
- "Drank" is the past simple form of the verb "drink".
- The sentence demonstrates the use of parallelism, particularly in terms of verb tense.
- In this sentence, parallelism is achieved by maintaining the past tense for both verbs, "went" and "drank".
Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "I went to the lake and drank some of its water in my metallic cup."
