(I were the only one that) could swim, so I made a dash for it.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. I was the only one that.
The sentence requires the past tense so, "was" is the correct helping verb to be used to maintain grammatical consistency.
Additionally, "that" is commonly used in defining clauses when referring to people, making "I was the only one that" the most appropriate choice.
So, the complete sentence is: "I was the only one that could swim, so I made a dash for it."
