Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.He ___out five minutes ago. A. has gone B. had gone C. went D. none of these

has gone
had gone
went
none of these

The correct answer is C. went.

The verb “go” is used to describe the act of leaving a place. In this sentence, the time reference is “five minutes ago,” which indicates that the action of leaving has already happened. The past tense form of “go” is “went,” so the correct answer is C.

The other options are incorrect because they do not agree with the time reference in the sentence. The present perfect tense form of “go” is “has gone,” but this would indicate that the action of leaving is still happening or has just happened. The past perfect tense form of “go” is “had gone,” but this would indicate that the action of leaving happened before a specific time in the past. The word “none of these” is also incorrect because it does not provide a complete sentence.
