Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word. How many people ________ to the meeting yesterday?

The correct answer is: C. came

The verb “come” is used to talk about the present or future. In this case, the meeting happened yesterday, so we need to use the past tense. The past tense of “come” is “came.”

The other options are incorrect because they are not in the past tense.

• Option A: “come” is the present tense of the verb “come.”
• Option B: “did come” is the past tense of the verb “do.”
• Option D: “are coming” is the present tense of the verb “come.”

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
