He deserves my thanks for . . . . . . . my purse and returned it to me without taking anything from it. A. having found B. found C. founded D. find

The correct answer is: A. having found

The sentence is in the passive voice, so the verb “found” must be in the past participle form. The past participle of “find” is “found.”

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

• “Found” is the simple past tense of “find.”
• “Founded” is the past tense of “found.”
• “Find” is the infinitive form of “find.”

The sentence means that the person deserves thanks for finding the purse and returning it to the speaker.
