Correct! The sentence in full is "I studied for my test, but my teacher moved it."
To answer this question, you need to identify which words best complete the sentence given. Let's break down the sentence:
"I _______ for my test, but my teacher ________ it."
The first part of the sentence is referring to an action the subject is doing for their test. Based on the tense, it seems like the subject is talking about something they are currently doing. Therefore, the word that fills in the blank should be in present tense.
The second part of the sentence is referring to the action the teacher took. The teacher is mentioned in past tense, so the word that fills in the blank should be in the past tense.
Looking at the options given:
- study/moves: The word "moves" doesn't match the past tense mentioned for the teacher's action.
- studied/moved: The words "studied" and "moved" match the tenses mentioned, but it implies that the subject has already taken the test, whereas the sentence implies they are preparing for it.
- studies/moves: The word "moves" doesn't match the past tense mentioned for the teacher's action.
- study/move: The words "study" and "move" correctly match the present tense for the subject and past tense for the teacher's action.
So, the words that best complete the sentence are "study/move."
