Correct Answer: strode off


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The verb "stride" is irregular, and its past tense form is "strode". In the original sentence, the incorrect form "strided" is used. The correct past tense form to describe someone walking with long steps is "strode".

So, the correct sentence would be: Christian strode off into the blackness, and I got into my car.
