Question

read the introduction to griffins personal narrative, \saving up.\ when i was fifteen, i asked my mom if i could go visit my cousin, who lived across the country. \if you can wol up enough babysitting money to pay for half of the plane ticket, i will let you go,\ she replied. i wol thrilled! fill in the blanks in order. save.... was save.... am saved.... was saved.... am

Explanation:

1. For the first blank: The sentence structure is "If you can [WOL] up enough...", and "save up" is a phrasal verb meaning to accumulate money. The modal verb "can" is followed by the base form of the verb, so "save" is correct (eliminating options with "saved").
2. For the second blank: The context is in the past (when the narrator was fifteen), so the past tense "was" is appropriate (eliminating "am" which is present tense).

Answer:

A. save.... was
