Question

Read the introduction to Keyana’s personal narrative, “Thanks, Dad.”

When I was four years old, my dad and I [WOL] a tree in our front yard. It was a tiny, fragile sapling. He promised me that it would grow tall and strong, but he said that I had to be patient. Until I turned 18 years old, Dad and I [WOL] it every year on my birthday.

Fill in the blanks in order.
plant . . . . measure
plant . . . . measured
planted . . . . measure
planted . . . . measured

Answer 1

planted . . . measured

Explanation: both actions are in the past. "When I was four" requires past tense ("planted"), and the repeated action "until I turned 18" also calls for past tense ("measured").
