Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is, "Before this year, I could not move out of my parents' house because I did not have a job.

Explanation:

• This sentence pertains to the fact that the speaker was unable or not in a position to move out of his/her parents' house due to financial constraints.
• The root form of the verb that would fit the description of his inability would be CAN NOT.
• However, since the sentence is in Simple past tense, the correct verb form of this root will be "could not".

Hence, we have to first decipher the root verb that should fit the sentence and then after judging the tense of the sentence, we can change the form of the root and use it.
