Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.He ___out five minutes ago.

A. has gone

B. had gone

C. went

D. none of these

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In the sentence, "He went out five minutes ago," the past simple tense is used to describe an action that was completed in the past. The correct form for the sentence is "He went out five minutes ago."

The other options are not suitable because they do not use the correct verb form or tense:

Option A: has gone
This option uses the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate for describing a specific action that occurred and was completed five minutes ago.

Option B: had gone
This option uses the past perfect tense, which is not necessary in this context. The simple past tense is sufficient to convey the meaning of the sentence.

Option D: none of these
This option implies that none of the given options are correct, but in fact, Option C: went is the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: went.
