Correct Answer: came


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

"A year ago" denotes an action that happened in the past. Hence, the tense of the verb must also be set in the past. "Was coming" is in the past continuous tense and does not fit the sentence. "Came" is in the simple past tense and is the correct answer as the simple past tense is used for past actions.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "George came to this country a year ago."
