Choose the option that best completes the gap(s). When his car tyre ......... on the way, he did not know what to do.
A. has burst B. had burst C. bursted D. burst
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
When his car tyre burst on the way, he did not know what to do. Although bursted is not a word in English, some writers erroneously use it as a past tense or past participle for burst. As mentioned above, burst is itself the past tense form of this verb, making bursted unnecessary and incorrect.
