Answer:
The correct way to fill in the blanks in this paragraph, from Mina´s personal narrative "My First Tryout", would be, as follows:
When I was in ninth grade, I tried out for the lacrosse team, even though I had never played before. My older sister had been a start goalie when she was my age, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps.
Explanation:
The reason for these two words, which are in their simple past form, being the correct ones to use, comes from the grammatical structure that was used in the paragraph itself. In the first place, this is a paragrap that is written in the first person, "I", which will determine immediately the type of verbs that will be used. Second, she starts the narration with the use of When I was, which immediately makes the reader understand that this is a sentence where a story is being told. This allows us to know that the use of verbs will be in their simple grammatical forms, in the past tense. Finally, because it IS a story, and a personal one at that, of an event that already took place, the verbs to be chosen from the list given are those that fufill that need, which means, verbs in the simple past that show a simple action. The two offered that fulfill this are tried and wanted.
