Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
“showed” is the most suitable word for this blank.
Reason: The passage is narrated in the past tense, so a past-tense verb is required. 'showed' is the past-tense form and agrees with the rest of the text.
'shows' is present tense and creates a tense mismatch with the past narration.
'show' is the base form and would need an auxiliary (for example, 'did show') to be grammatical in this context.
'will show' is future tense and conflicts with the past-tense description of the game.
Note: In everyday usage, 'played' would be a more natural verb to describe participating in a game, but given the presented options, 'showed' is the best fit for tense agreement.
