or kept getting lost

Answer 2

Since it was an unfamiliar city, I got lost.

• Option b is the correct one. Other three options are not correct.
• Option a talks about continuous tense and in this sentence, continuous tense will not be used because the person is talking about being lost in past tense and the action had happen and is not happening anymore.
• Option b is correct as it is in simple past tense and correct form of the verb has been used.
• Option c is incorrect as past perfect tense is used but here simple past tense has to be used.
• Option d is incorrect as form of verb is wrong. Along with did, the verb get should have been used and not gets.

Hence, the correct answer is got lost.
