Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ate; eight.
In the sentence, "Yesterday, he ate pizza and ate eight burgers in one go," the word "ate" is the correct verb to describe the action of eating in the past.
The first blank requires the past tense of "eat" because it describes an action that took place yesterday.
The second blank, "eight," refers to the number of burgers eaten, making it grammatically appropriate to use the number here.
