I _ him a message but he didn't reply.
Correct answer: C. Sent
- A. Send
- B. Sended
- C. Sent
- D. Had sented
Explanation
The correct answer is sent because it is the simple past tense form of the verb 'send'. The sentence describes a completed action in the past where 'I' sent a message but didn't receive a reply. Option A, 'send', is in the present tense and does not fit the past context. Option B, 'sended', is incorrect because 'send' is an irregular verb with 'sent' as its past form. Option D, 'had sented', uses a non-existent form 'sented' instead of the correct past participle 'sent'.
