Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct filled sentence: I thanked my friend who sent me a 99-cent imported scent for my birthday.
Why these words fit:
Blank 1 — sent: 'sent' is the past tense of 'send' and correctly fills the verb slot ('who sent me').
Blank 2 — cent: 'cent' is the unit of money. Use it as a compound modifier '99-cent' to describe price.
Blank 3 — scent: 'scent' means a fragrance or perfume, which fits 'imported scent'.
Polished alternative phrasing: I thanked my friend who sent me a 99-cent imported scent for my birthday.
