Fill in the blank with appropriate option.He went off the day after I _ my last haircut about a month ago.
Correct answer: D. got
- A. to get
- B. had gotten
- C. went
- D. got
Explanation
ExplanationA) to get - Incorrect because it suggests a purpose rather than a past event.B) had gotten - Grammatically possible but less appropriate in this context. "Had gotten" implies a past perfect tense, which isn't necessary here.C) went - Incorrect because "went" is the past tense of "go," which doesn't fit the structure of the sentence where we need a verb for the action of getting a haircut.D) got - Correct because it is the simple past tense and fits the context of describing a past event.
