Correct Answer: A

- A. I saw you standing in line at the Tilt-A-Whirl at the country fair.
- B. I sang the national anthem before the country fair moto-cross race.
- C. I ran toward the country fair arena with Nibbles the Rabbit.
- D. I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'I wore a white shirt and dark jeans to show my goat at the country fair.' 'Wore' is the correct past tense form of 'wear.' Choice A is incorrect as 'seen' should be 'saw,' which is the correct past tense of 'see.' Choice B is incorrect as 'sung' should be 'sang,' the correct past tense of 'sing.' Choice C is incorrect as 'ran' is the correct verb, but the question specifically asks for the correct use of a verb, not just any verb.
