Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.What do you think_______me?a)Toldb)They toldc)Didnt telld)Did he tellCorrect answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Question

Answer

The blank in the given interrogative sentence refers to an action already completed in the past. Thus, the verb will be in simple past tense.
"Told" in option A is a transitive verb but is missing the pronoun which indicates the indirect object. Thus, this is incorrect.
"They told" in option B is correct as the transitive verb 'told' requires two objects, direct and indirect. The pronoun 'they' is the indirect object and 'me' is the direct object.
Options C and D are incorrect as they use the present participle form of the transitive verb 'tell'.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Answer

They told

Explanation:
- The sentence structure is in the form of a question, 'What do you think ______ me?'
- The word 'think' indicates that someone else has expressed an opinion or shared information.
- In this context, the most suitable option to complete the sentence would be 'They told me.'
- This option implies that someone has shared something about the speaker, which leads to the question 'What do you think they told me?'
