Answer 2

Answer:

The convenor presided the meeting last week.

Explanation:

Past tense implies that the action has been done long back and has been completed. It refers to any action done previously. Past tense has four forms – the simple past, the past continuous, the past perfect and the past perfect continuous form.

Here the simple past tense has been used which implies that the action has been done and ended before only. Simple past tense uses the –ed morphemes usually. So the simple past tense of preside is presided.
