Question 1 • PBCSD_CR_1001375_English 3_for_Credit_Recovery_S1andS2_2015

Read the introduction to Enzo’s personal narrative, “The Camping Trip.”I opened my eyes, lay still for a moment, and ______ to the sounds of the forest. The rustling tree branches sounded like hushed whispers, and I wondered what they were saying. What a peaceful morning, I thought to myself. Which word correctly fills in the blank?

Answer
A
listened
B
listen
C
listens
D
listening

Explanation

The sentence describes actions Enzo completed in the past: “opened” and “lay.” The verb after “and” should also be in the past tense, so “listened” correctly completes the series: “I opened my eyes, lay still for a moment, and listened.”
