Answer:

option b is the correct answer

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is b-sank

His voice gradually sank to a whisper.

Explanation:

• "Sank" is the past tense (e.g. the ship sank to the bottom of the sea).
• "Sunk" is the past participle, so it is used in the past tense (e.g., the ship has sunk to the bottom of the sea).
• "Sank" is the simple past tense we use when talking about something sunken in the past. "Sunk" is the past participle, which alone doesn't matter much and needs an auxiliary verb like "have". It refers to something that has started to happen and continues to happen.
• The past tense can be difficult to understand, especially when looking at irregular verbs. The past tense of "sink" can be used in two verb forms of the past tense when constructing a sentence.
