When I . . . . . . . . her last, she was living with her aunt. A. saw B. was seeing C. had seen D. see

saw
was seeing
had seen
see

The correct answer is: A. saw

The sentence is in the past tense, so the verb must also be in the past tense. The only option that is in the past tense is “saw.”

The other options are not in the past tense. “Was seeing” is in the present progressive tense, “had seen” is in the past perfect tense, and “see” is in the present tense.

Here is a breakdown of each option:

  • A. saw: This is the simple past tense of the verb “see.” It is used to talk about something that happened at a specific time in the past.
  • B. was seeing: This is the present progressive tense of the verb “see.” It is used to talk about something that is happening now or that was happening at a specific time in the past.
  • C. had seen: This is the past perfect tense of the verb “see.” It is used to talk about something that happened before another event in the past.
  • D. see: This is the present tense of the verb “see.” It is used to talk about something that is happening now or that will happen in the future.

In this case, the sentence is about something that happened in the past, so the correct answer is “saw.”
