Correct Answer: lost


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

In the context of the sentence, the action of losing control over the wheels occurred in the past, so the past tense lost correctly indicates that the person driving the car had lost control in the past.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The person driving the car lost control over the wheels and knocked her down."
