Refer to the verb table shown in the figure. Which row correctly matches a verb with its past tense and past participle? ![](https://qallery.app/diagrams/v2_417876fda3c2/img-046.jpeg)

Alay (put) → past: lay, past participle: lain
Blie (down) → past: lay, past participle: lain
Clie (untruth) → past: lay, past participle: laid
Dlay (put) → past: lied, past participle: lied
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. lie (down) → past: lay, past participle: lain
The table distinguishes three forms: "lay" meaning put/place has past "laid" and past participle "laid"; "lie" meaning recline has past "lay" and past participle "lain"; and "lie" meaning tell an untruth has past "lied" and past participle "lied." So option B matches the table correctly. The other options mix forms from different verbs, which is exactly why these verbs are often confusing.
