What form of the word in parenthesis would make sense?
Clara (go) for the doctor in plenty of time.
The correct form of the word in parenthesis would be "went".
To determine the form of the word that would make sense in the sentence, we need to understand the sentence's structure and context. In this case, we have the word "Clara" followed by "(go)" in parentheses, suggesting that we need to select the appropriate form of the verb "to go" to complete the sentence. Given that "Clara" is the subject of the sentence, we should choose a verb form that agrees with a third-person singular subject (e.g., he, she, it).
To get the answer, we can consider the available options for the verb "to go" in the appropriate form. The possible forms are "goes," "going," or "went."
Looking further at the sentence, we see that the action described by the verb occurred in the past because "in plenty of time" refers to a previous event. Considering this, we can eliminate the present tense form "goes" and choose between "going" and "went."
However, since the sentence is in the past tense and we need a verb form that matches this tense, the correct word to fill in the parentheses is "went." Therefore, the sentence would read: "Clara went for the doctor in plenty of time."
