Answer 2

The answer will be: I a). looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find him anywhere.

• The correct option of tenses to be used in the given sentence is a). looked.

• There are three major types of tenses in English Grammar; Present Tense, Past Tense, and Future Tense. Each of these three types of tenses has various sub-classifications of tenses.
