I _ him two days ago.
Correct answer: B. Saw
- A. See
- B. Saw
- C. Seen
- D. Have seen
Explanation
The correct answer is saw. The sentence 'I _ him two days ago.' requires the verb to be in the simple past tense because the phrase 'two days ago' clearly indicates a specific time in the past. 'Saw' is the simple past tense of 'see'. The other options are incorrect because 'see' is the base form, 'seen' is the past participle that needs an auxiliary verb to form a perfect tense, and 'have seen' is present perfect, which does not align with the specific past time context provided.
