Answer:

The box was so heavy that I could not it.                  

Explanation:

  • Verbs in a sentence represent the most variable element.
  • The correct form of verb encompasses most of the grammatical rules of the English language. Every element of a sentence eventually relates to the action word called- verb.
  • The verbs appear differently in a sentence on the basis of their subjects alluding to subject-verb agreement, tenses, moods, voices, different structures, modals, etc.
  • The variability of the verbs mostly depends on the different time frames or tenses of the sentences.
  • A form of verb depends on the time the actions have been done since it says a lot about it.
  • Here in the given sentence, the 'I could not it'- phrase refers to the performance of an action in the past which is why the subject "I" failed to lift the box describing the incapability at that moment.
  • Thus we will use the past tense for the given verb.

Hence the correct (be) verb to be filled will be- Was (for singular countable noun 'Box')

i.e. The box was so heavy that I could not it.
