Question

Read the introduction to Joel's personal narrative, "The Jazz Band." I [WOL] for the school jazz band my freshman year, my sophomore year, and my junior year. I didn't make it until I was a senior. That's four tryouts! I [WOL] four nerve-racking tryouts, but it was worth it. Fill in the blanks in order. Audition . . . . Endured audition . . . . Endure auditioned . . . . Endure auditioned . . . . Endured

Answer 1

Answer:

Auditioned... endured.

Explanation:

Since this is something that happened in the past, you need to use past simple in both gaps. Past simple is formed by adding -ed to the verb, or in this case: audition + ed = auditioned and endure + ed = endured. Joel first auditioned for the band, and then had to endure four tryouts.

The other options don't have both verbs in the past.

Answer 2

Answer:

Its D: Auditioned . . . . Endured

Explanation:

This is a past tense paragraph, therefore the verbs should be in past tense.
