Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below:I __________ a lot of money yesterday. I __________ an expensive watch.

spend / buy
spent / bought
spent / buy
was spent / bought

The correct answer is: B. spent / bought

  • I spent a lot of money yesterday. This is the past tense of the verb “spend,” which means to use money to buy things.
  • I bought an expensive watch. This is the simple past tense of the verb “buy,” which means to acquire something in exchange for money.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • C. spent / buy is incorrect because the verb “buy” should be in the simple past tense to agree with the verb “spent.”
  • D. was spent / bought is incorrect because the verb “spent” should be in the active voice, not the passive voice.

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