The appropriate verb forms are as follows:

1. lived

2. became

3. is

4. is

5. have

6. must

7. had

8. decided

9. reached

10. received

  • The story is based in the past, hence the tense of the narrative portion is in the past tense.
  • Damocles's thoughts were his current thoughts at that time, hence, in those blanks present form the verb has been used.
  • However, past tense has been used when Damocles wishes his luck to be as good as the friend. When a person wishes for something, it is always presented in the past tense.
