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."
