That’s four tryouts! I ______ four nerve-racking tryouts, but it was worth it.Which words correctly fill in the blanks?

Answer
A
audition; endured
B
audition; endure
C
auditioned; endure
D
auditioned; endured

Explanation

The first sentence describes tryouts that happened in the past, so the verb should be “auditioned”: “I auditioned for the school jazz band.” The second sentence also describes past tryouts, so it should be “endured.” The correct choice is “auditioned; endured.”
