Something isn't in the right order, because the paragraph isn't well organized I don't know where the answer choices are supposed to be located.
The correct answer is <span>D. </span><span>he accidentally kicked the paint can over. In the sentence given above, the most appropriate verb tense to use is past because the first tense used is past participle which indicates that the action was done already. All the other choices will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.</span>
