He (seek) for the wallet in his pocket.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Sought.
The sentence describes a completed action in the past (searching for the wallet). When describing past events, we typically use the past tense of the verb.
Since the verb "seek" is in its base form, it needs to be changed to the past tense to match the context of a past action. The past tense of "seek" is "sought."
