complete the sentence.
as a joke, i tried to dropdown my sister last weekend. i told her that saturday was a school day. too bad i couldn’t make her believe me!

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context: the speaker is tricking their sister with a false statement. The prefix "mis - " means "wrong" or "badly", and "mislead" means to lead someone into error or deception. The structure "tried to + verb" requires the base form of the verb. So the appropriate word is "mislead".

The sentence context involves tricking the sister with a false claim. The prefix "mis - " (meaning wrong/deceptive) and the need for a verb (with "tried to") leads to "mislead" (to lead into error), fitting the joke - based deception.

Answer:

mislead
